It's my birthday today! Great, i'm finally not 14. Took forever. Got that out of the way, let's move on to other things.

I've been working quite a bit on the GameCave Console lately, and since it's being completely rewritten, i haven't gotten very far; Although it's really cool, you can move the console around and resize it. If you use the enterprise edition of the console you can define various points that the user can access to move the console; for instance if a developer chooses a resize point at 0,0 with size 5; The user can resize the console if he puts his mouse within 5 pixels of the top-left corner of the console (the developer also chooses what type of resizer it is; north/south, west/east, or those diagonal ones). So yeah, that took a lot of calculating but was really fun to do too.

The developer can also do extra methods of designing the console. For instance, in the current public version (second edition) you can only choose between a sprite or a rectangle for each part of the console (text-box, scrollbar, etc); Where as in this version you can choose from any shape; ellipses, rectangles… even freaking triangles; You can choose the colours and whether it's outlined or not. You can even have as many background-layers as you want, which is cool for say having skies scrolling in the background of your console. Now just to consider various methods of making the whole game freeze when the console is down. Anyway, you could expect the console within 6 months; maybe. We'll see how it works out, Conflict is in serious need of working on.
