My seventh demo is more of a forced stopping point. After a year with the Torque engine, I finally understand how much of it works. This knowledge shows that I have done much of my coding in a less than efficient manner. In order to add additional player classes (vehicles), I need to restructure my code.

This restructuring is a perfect time to add multiplayer support. Before doing this, I have created this demo. Physical and melee attacks have been added. Water and its effects (speed, heat removal, weapon firing and ranges, jump jets, and visibility) are in. Lasers and PPC have been updated to display correctly. Buildings, cities, bases and AI turrets are in. And lastly, the Hatcheman has been added.

Derk, I was very excited at the last .plan you released and I am glad that you have continued to work on this. I must admit that I am not really all that interested in Mech combat, unfortunatly, but I still think that this is a great project and I know that there is an audience for it.
