1:42Plans for today

2:40Looking back at what was achieved yesterday

3:24Taking a detour to fix the zooming in a shot of the opening cut-scene

7:19Restating how the mode switching should work

9:28Final tweaks to the zooming

11:16Adding input handling to the cut-scene and title-screen game modes

18:18Adding a loop to the game mode dispatch, to allow updating/rendering to be re-ran immediately by the new mode, if a mode switch occurs

20:22Moving original input handling code into the world game mode

21:15Fixing resulting compile errors and header file include order

24:28Making the world game mode switch back to the cut-scene mode when no heroes exist

26:18Debugging the new code

27:45Thinking about how the new mode switching code might interact with multi-threading

29:21Changing how the world is initialized

31:38Debugging why the world doesn't appear to fit in the arena

34:21Fixing the world game mode immediately exiting back to the cut-scene

37:23Running the game. It can now enter the game mode but there are still a few bugs remaining

38:17Fixing inability to move by re-enabling code that was #if 0'd yesterday

40:33Fixing the lack of camera following by making sure the arena is zero-initialized

44:18Running the game again with the bugs fixed

44:47Commenting on the previously mentioned potential threading issues with the mode switching

48:28Implementing a basic version of the title-screen

53:00Testing the title-screen code
