So far, I've hit editor.bb hard (obviously!) so don't go anywhere near that. map.bb is taking a bit of a pounding too, although that's less problematic. There are a few other tweaks here and there, but nothing major - am keeping a note of these so as I can post changes. In fact, that's part of the plan for tonight - to get all the basics done, so as all I need change after tonight is the editor.

As for the inventory, I'm tempted to say leave it for now, and give Rims a chance to look into it - it's not *the* most critical thing right now.

I did wonder about shapes - I think the rooms stuff holds the basis for this. i.e. it should be possible for some 'rooms' (or 'shapes' now) to be 1x2, 2x1, 2x2, 3x3, whatever. And that some shapes are a fixed size, but others are expandable (like rooms are currently). But then I think we're on to yet another 'nice to have' feature...

...what I'd really like is for us to be at a point soon where we can truly start asking people to make levels for the game. For example through the Blitz newsletter, and potentially through AB fan sites (although I think that comes later). I think we're very nearly there now - pretty much just objects, level objectives, your re-org, and probably a few more script commands / triggers).

...and then we'll not just be playing catch-up and scope creep with our own ideas, but everyone else's too...
