I'm currently working on two projects at the moment. One is a 2D Side
Scroller, and the other is a 3D Battle game. The 2D Side Scroller is
playable, and the 3D Battle Game is 'move aroundable'. There haven't
been too many enhancements on the 2D side scroller at the moment, I've
been working on skeleton code for the 3D battle game. (At the moment,
it's just 2 color cubes running around in a randomly generated playing
environement. Really cool from a technical aspect, just not from a
players viewpoint.)

I'm tempted to just right now tidy up the source for both of these
monsters and post EVERYTHING. My source is very organised and readable,
so hopefully it will give everyone some ideas. Be on the look out for
this in a few days. (That is unless Steve, Ed, or Elliot have a problem
with this)
