1. TWF Opinion Polls

The poll hasn't be changed for a good while now but we finally have a new
one. The previous poll has been asking the question: "What is your
favourite type of game ?".

The final results are as follows:

        Space Sims:   53
        RTS:          23
        Breakout:     0
        FPP3D:        49
        RPG:          57
        Driving:      30
        Flight:       14
        SpaceInvaders:2
        Beatemup:     1
        Original:     23
        Adventure:    20

The new poll is not games related. With the recent buyout of the Amiga by
Amino just before the new year, do you think this will reverse the amigas
fortunes ? So take your pick between; Yes, No or Don't Know.


2. Explorer 2260 Update.

Much the same as last month for E2260.

    - Work on the Linux server core routines is continuing.

    - More background documents for the CEG are being created.


3. Maim & Mangle Update.

As a result of the recent job advertisement for a GUI programmer for M&M we
have appointed Nathan Young to the position.

Most of the programming work in December has been on the internal editors
used by us for the development of the main game. Primarily this is the
object editor which we use to texture and manipulate the units and other
objects for the main game. This has the following added to it:

    - Warp3D support added.

    - Warp3D filtering added.

    - W3D zbuffer added.

    - W3D perspective correction added.

    - clip mapping and double face added.

    - Major speed increase.

Work is being done on implementing some of the changes made to the editor to
the main game engine.
