Yep, might be good to at least get back to the playabilty before
reorganizing the beast.

A bit docu can't be bad, especially docu on what should be done.
However documenting the currenty stage of the game itself shouldn't be
needed much at all, since lots of it might change in the future.

I wouldn't care about it as this stage all that much, after all it
depends quite a bit on the whole structure of the game what needs to
be saved an what not (do we have just linear levels or a large
non-linear world, do we have an inventory, etc.). Beside that with
just one or two levels nobody will miss a save button.

Would help to actually know in with direction the game will be heading
before such stuff could start comming in.

While at that just switch to C++, don't see much point in emulating OO
in C the hard way.

Seems to work rather well so far, the real question is if OpenGL
should just be a nice add-on or if it should be the primiary rendering
target.

An already existing gui toolkit/library should be used, no need in
reinventing the wheel.
