Thanks for the contribution!!

Got a short little video maybe, so we could see it in action?

You are very welcome.

Videos will be coming soon™. This is on my very long list of things 'todo' by mid-October. I'm basically coming up for air just long enough to bang out some community resources and play a couple PC games before diving back into fullspeed gamedev.
