Not much new today, biggest news would be one of my friends is making a program designed specifically for displaying paralax background layers, it's not quite perfect yet, but it's very simple to use, and works very well.

Here's a preview of it with Twinsen graphics:

Yeah, it's basically the …

Another late entry, I got home at 7AM, and woke up at dinner, no hangover so I can't complain.

I've done a little more work on the paralax layers for Twinsen, as you can see:

You might notice the …

I finally decided to have a go at the paralax layers, the bush ones at least:

As you can see, they're pretty simple, and yes, there is five of them.
