Tangles: You know what's really evil about GruntHack sokoprize doors? If you assume that the door will be locked, as it always is in vanilla, and attempt to unlock it, and your muscle memory hits the y to confirm before you realize it's asking if you want to _lock_ it, the door you were trying to unlock turns into solid wall, and you get no prize. |

maybe a better solution would be to allow intelligent monsters to snatch it away from under your feet like leprchauns can do with gold |
