That's a really nice looking editor, John!
Hmm... I've just achieved an occasional strange rumbling effect on game boards which is likely the result of me really @#!*ing off the physics engine. (I'm using really weird numbers for everything's mass...).
Rather than fix it, I'm going to make sure that it is stable and add an earthquake sound :)
There's also some really cool stuff with objects bouncing off the board, now that they weigh a lot more and the board only weighs 1 neuton.
Actions system is in place, allowing for new objects to be added easily. First object to make use of it is game boards, and I have also tested the waters by throwing in little fans that are useful for tipping/stabilizing boards. (And if they work well, the gameboard auto leveling will be greatly reduced).
It doesn't look like much, but I'm happy with where this is going.
...And the best part is, it makes use of my other two projects which everyone thinks I've abandoned, thus forcing me to finish them!!
Now, if I'd started this programming a few hours ago instead of drawing squares on my desktop trying not to highlight any icons (great fun!), it would be even better.
Edit: Um... angering the physics engine.
