 Roadmap for Pingus 0.8.0:

+New Features
+============
 
-- add VCR like effect for fast forward

   RGB with a colorkey, room for optimization
 
-- implement xschema-like language to check for syntax errors in the level files
+* file parsing easily crashes or asserts on incorrect files
 
-- keep highscores for levels (number saved and stuff like that)
+* Translation issues:
 
-- digger (mean basher?) follows down slopes
+ - The suffix showing which extra skill a Pingus has (e.g. [f] for Floater or
+   [c] for Climber).
 
-- trap in one tutorial level with two exits is in background, should be 
foreground
