Started playing about with lighting
First I broke it by putting the light source in the floor

Then I tried putting it above the wall tiles

Then below them

Then back to above them but with no ambient like this time

It looks bad at the moment because there are no proper shadows.

I've uploaded the above version since it's a interesting change. Just tunr the launcher if you want to try it out (it auto-updates).

Doesn't work for me :/
All it does is say "Launching Game" and that's it.
Is this supposed to mean anything,

I moved a few files before. You downloaded the launcher during the 20 minutes when it was not uploaded !
Here is the link again

I am getting the hang of it a bit more too, coming up with ways to optimise the stuff I had written before a bit more. you know your making progress when you look at somethign you write the day before and thing it's very wrong.

Stop being a Windows user ! I'll go fix the launch command I guess.
EDIT: Should be fixed now

Windows uses ; as it's path separator and Linux uses : gar !

Since the last update I made the lights be nit fixed to the camera, be random colours and spawn in random places on the map.
I also made a huge internal change with how coordinates work which meant that I can do all the maths in game space rather than worrying about if it should be relative to the player of to the level.
Then I got tired and watched Game of Thrones

Good that the Windows bug is fixed though. Gotta love cross platform ! Just need someone with a mac to test it now.

A bit of progress with lighting, this is basically what it will look like I think. It looks a bit flat now because there are no shadows or depth.
Also you can scroll to zoom in

2 November 2012After a very long break from the project I found some time to work on it a bit. Mostly I have been working on collision detection and the movement of the player which is not really nice
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
I've also added textures to all of the faces so it can hopefully start looking like the thing in my head soon.

Next I think I'm going to add some GUI and work out world generation (plus the save format for everything)
