After update: Rat King ressurection

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play previous version of Andor's Trail.
2. Kill the rat king.
3. Update the game.
4. Go and kill some rats.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After update the rat king is somehow resurrected. What once was killed, should 
stay killed (only applies to bosses).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v0.6.6, Android 2.1

Thank you for the report. Yes, this is a bug. My fault :)

The spawning logic was changed from 0.6.4 to 0.6.6. On 0.6.4, all monsters on 
all maps were initially spawned when a new game was created, thereby also 
ensuring that all bosses are spawned. In 0.6.6 this was changed so that 
monsters will be spawned the first time you enter a new map (so we can 
dynamically add maps in later versions). To know what maps are visited and not, 
a new indicator was introduced in the savegame file for 0.6.6 . This new 
indicator could not determine whether you had been in the rat cave before or 
not, so it treated all maps as unvisited.

Anyway, it's a bug. But it only affects savegames upgrading from 0.6.4 to 0.6.6 
. There's not much we can do about it now that 0.6.6 is out in Android Market, 
even if we wanted to :) Bosses on maps visited in a 0.6.6 savegame will not 
respawn.

Thanks again for reporting it though!

I'll mark this issue as closed if the discussion above answers your question.
