Charlie: in case you didn't get my last email, I requesting some ideas 
about what the in game menus should look like.  You can make some 
images, or just describe them.  I'd just like to it ready for the next 
release, which should come out soon.

Everyone: Development of the scripting system has been pushed down my 
priority list to make room for the sound system.  I'm planning on have 
that ready for the 0.1.0 release.  Hopefully 0.2.0 will have a working 
scripting system, maybe not though, we'll see...  The sound system is 
sorta gonna be hack on the inside, which sadly won't work in wind0ws. 
 But when I implement a good one, the rest of the program won't have to 
be changed at all (hopefully).  I've created a plan file, which will be 
up on the site soon.  It will help me keep the source code structured. 
 Alot of work needs to be done on the current source, which is very 
unstructured and pretty damn ugly.  Hopefully by the next big release, 
0.1.0, I'll have most of it cleaned up.

If any of you are interested in help with the programming (my head 
hurts!!!) with a little effort you will hopefully be able to contribute 
something.  This project will be around for a while, I have some big 
long term plans *cough* 3D graphics engine *cough*.  You'll have to 
learn some C++ which could take some time.  I find programming extremely 
fun.  C++ is actually one of the least complicated programming 
languages.  But due to it's simplicity, you often have to code alot more 
to do some basic things.  Instead of one "function" that does alot of 
wierd stuff, you have a couple of functions that do some very basic 
things to get the same result.  So far, there are about 1500 lines of 
code.  That's nothing.  It could grow to 100 times that.  I'm hoping 
that I don't have to write all that code.  So if you are interested in 
learning some C++ we can talk.  Actually, maybe I should start a 
computer club sorta as part of FLO...  I'd like to share my knowledge 
but I'd rather not teach a class.  Anyways, I got some cool books on C++ 
in general and C++ game programming for linux(alot of it applies to 
windows too).
