Progress Report

Work on the programming side of the MiniTanks project continues to progress as we near Milestone 2.
Code for the bases is now ready to be implemented in the main version of the game thanks to Matt's hard work.
The team selection GUI has been refined further and now offers the functionality we desire for the end product.
Interim models have been successfully implemented in one build and mysteriously failed in another copy of the same build. Due to time constraints we do not have time to investigate the cause of the failure and as such we will use the successful build as the main version adding elements from other builds to it. The final models continue to cause great pain due to their complexity.
Documentation is moving forward with in depth Technical Documentation of the Random Terrain system being completed and some very small progress on the Game Design Documentation.

As of next week we will formally be stopping all code work to focus solely on documentation and the presentation. It is our intent to use the milestone 2 presentation as a practice run for the final presentation and as such the time between Milestone 2 and the Final Presentation will be used to refine or revise what we present at Milestone 2.

Programming Work

Today we worked on the Menu system, Teams Implementation, Tank Models, Save System, and the Documentation.
Teams implementation was completed today with two teams available at a present.
The Tank Models are complete and only need to be exported successfully, unfortunately it is proving to be difficult due to the complexity of the models.
The database was setup to hold the required information for the Save System.
Documentation of the project is progressing with significant work being done on the Technical Design Documentation.
