In fact, I'm more of a slacker as for the past 6 weeks I've been working part-time (3 days a week) so in theory had 2 full days to do Yaroze stuff. Instead, I spent the time writing music and other stuff. I did do a bit of work on my 2D Spyhunter game but have pretty much abandoned the project now. It's not healthy to spend your whole day coding. I doubt anyone's sanity who can code at work all day and then come home and code :) Phil
