Water Drop Function Machine Updates:

I noticed that students were putting the panels in the way of the water drops, but not in the machines, so I updated the graphics.

At first I was just going to give the socket and the panels octagonal corners.  But then I decided to use the style from a few of my other puzzles and make the panels look like crystals by making them transparent sky blue. I think the new crystal panels are move visually interesting than the previous metal ones.

A few things had to be adjusted.  Notably, I have an object that displays the default x at a certain depth, but it doesn't have a sprite.  I forgot that in order to use instance_place (which I was putting in) an object has to have a sprite to use as a collision mask, even if you don't display that sprite.

I'll need to fix the intro screen to match the current graphics.

Update.

Name mode has been added to Water Drop Function Machine.  All the corresponding updates, including the victor sceen have been made.  I eliminated the outdated example machines in the intro screen since they don't match anymore.  I should do something to make that screen more interesting.
