Week #40 update
Most of week #40 was spent making headway into my TO-DO list. I've been doing this for three weeks now and I'd say around 90% has now been done which I'm happy with. I'm not very creative so it take me quite…
Week #39 update

Week #33 update
What I've done this week## Quite a lot of time was spent analyzing the save game format of the original Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks' Revenge with little success. Unfortunately, the format is not as straight-forward as Lode Runner 2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lode_…
