Could possibly do a drag off the screen way of deletion also. As for
buttons on the modules, thats a little difficult, due to the modules
being dynamically created it haywire when you start overlaying sprites
over the top that are tied to it. I tried this initially when I first
started on the application. Maybe when my skill level rise i'll do
something like this.
Not gonna be changing the little red boxes anytime soon though, 300 of
the little buggers :D It's a pretty minor thing anyway. I'll just add
a little addition to the message bar with the movement instructions.
