Wednesday 11th

Nothing much to report for today. Tinkered around with a line-drawing algorithm, managed to find a piece of code that works - now all I have to do is integrate this into the editor (which is easier said than done, as it's pretty hard to read the mouse and deduce when the user is holding and letting go of the mouse button). Further exploration unearthed a small paint program, so I'll have a shufty through the source for that tomorrow.

Though the program is currently running in a window, it's getting to the point where the Editor really needs the functionality you'd expect from a window-based program (menus, toolbars, tabs, etc.), so this is the next big task at hand. Luckily it merely involves enclosing the current code within a Windows "shell", and should be a painless process. With this in mind, here's a screenshot of the Editor as it currently stands - expect it to look significantly different next time you see it. :)
