I've noticed that most people didn't realize that when you click on your assistant after asking for a hint, he'll give you more hints! I've improved this so that you can cycle through hints when you simply ask for help once.

Gameplay Changes

You can now click "Next" when asking for help to get more hints!

Add a clearer parser error when query is just SELECT FROM
Made selected book chapters a different color than unavailable locked chapters
