That's probably a part of the 3.3.0 Supaplex engine.
All it says is that the levels can be loaded, it doesn't say how, and it also doesn't say is that the levels can be played. ;)

But wasn't the Supaplex engine to come before BD? Maybe Supaplex already is possible, and BD will come in 3.3.0 instead, I can't remember.

But anyways, it's not a joke.

It's not a joke, and has nothing to do with the planned Supaplex game engine -- it's just a level loader, to load native Supaplex levels to R'n'D.

To use it, make a directory and put the original Supaplex 111 levels package file ("levels.dat") into it. Then add a file "levelinfo.conf" with the level name, author etc. and the following lines to it:

levels: 111
first_level: 1

That's it. When selecting that level set, you can access all 111 Supaplex levels as if they were converted for R'n'D. (In fact, they get converted on the fly to the R'n'D engine when loaded, always using the latest Supaplex compatibility changes.)
