Alpha 2: Stress Test

So, with the upcoming Alpha 2, I figured it was time to reveal what i've been getting up to in the late hours of the day...

Basically my work has centred around the PVP system, and getting everything in the client cleaned up, functionalised and working efficiently. First on the list was our FirewallCracker program, and here it is:

Next up? Well, i really wanted to sort out what happened to windows when you minimized them, so I wrote some code that arranges them nicely at the bottom of the screen...

After that I wanted to fix up some more of the PVP system, so... remote shell time baby!:

And then to finish off, a cool little intro screen that plays each time you log in, setting up the firewall etc:

You might notice that the Network traffic graph isnt always jittering up and down now... that's because I've finally fixed up the code that draws the graph, so functions can increase and decrease the graph as necessary, to accurately (mostly) draw the net traffic for the game.

Cool eh?
