Got a real graphics editor!

This version of the Puzzle Pirates add-on replaces the stock carp pieces with Zebrawood, Sabele, Teak, and Tigerwood; all woods with a nice visible grain. I dropped the blue line that was present in the earlier versions. It was good as a proof-of-concept but well, how many trees grow with blue lines down the middle? … it took away from the game. This new release is more in the spirit of the game.
