Time for an overdue blog post

Has it really been almost 10 days since my last blog post? What a hectic week.

To start off, I've worked and worked and worked on collision detection. It works now! In theory you can now have 20 frigates all jostling each other for the right to be at spot (0,0,0)

Aesthetic improvements? I've finally bit the bullet and split the battleviewer up into several files from its previous monolithic .py file setup.

Actionwise? Hitting next round actually queues up the correct rounds events now instead of reusing round 1 over and over and over again.

Oh, and now you can select the XML file you want to load at startup with the -f/--file option on the command line

This week I'm going to (looks at task chart), split up the scope of the viewer even more to accomodate reloading in-viewer, find a way to highlight the current event going on, and check into borrowing overlays from the main 3d client to represent damage with (oh, that reminds me, I need to look into particle effects too!)
