Re: [Bontz-team] dock is in cvs, fish race

[Chuck]

my only requirement for images at this time is that all animations are in
their own folder.

as for the mini game that sounds good.  and i suppose this means i will need
to get programming as all we have now is the stupid demo which i use to
simply let us look at graphics and animations.  and i don't know if you have
noticed, but it also lets you take screen shots!

i will get cracking on the real engine for the minigame soon.
