There's something called, work flow charts...

But, all I have is lists. I like to sometimes develop a project on paper before I even start to program. Needless to say, that's a lot of unfinished projects on paper. But this one, I wanted to get done/partially done in a month. So I knew there was no time for design.

However, after staring at the screen last night after finishing a good amount, I found myself lost. So today, I decided to work on a design document. So far all I have is a list of finished work, and then a list of things to do. Joy. Here's the list.

Granted, that's a good sized list. But it's not that much I don't think. I have some good news though. I fixed the bug that didn't let the player jump while against a wall. A detector was too large. Oh well.

Oh, btw, I found an example of the PMO object on my pc. It was in the example folder of the MMF2 directory. Go figure. I'm looking to use it for enemy Ai though. It might work.
Thanks for the tips on it though guys.
