Plan for Melv May

T2D Development Continues...
It's amazing how having a baby can either absorb all your time and energy or provide hours of witching-hour development time with motivation coming from simply doing something other than changing nappies.
Luckily, Jessica is pretty good and I've learn't how to code with one arm. It's great to write code, look-over and see her lovely face and know that my wife Sarah is having a well-earned rest.
I've now just about finished the reference manual and I've spent the last few hours putting some finishing touches to a variety of T2D objects, kind of nice-if features really.
Although the TileMap support is working really well, I did notice a severe problem with the collision detection but I need a little more energy before I sort that one out as it's quite a complex bit of code. I'll continue rationalising and refining what's there as well as pack as much info into the reference manual as I can for the GG handover.
If this continues then I should have a complete T2D package within a week or two.
I'd love to think I could put together some great eye-candy to show everyone at this years IGC even though I won't be there in person.

I've got two boys under 2 myself, so I know (kinda) what it's like.
Congratulations though, that's awesome! Just have fun with her, even when they want to play at 3 am after eating..*grin*
Also handy, is having a few bottles of Caffeine pills standing by....;)

T2d looks fantastic. This is exactly what I have been looking for and, frankly, I can't wait to get my hands on it. Keep up the great work.
