<font size="-2">The new G45c Hornet ship[/heading]</div>

• Changes:
  :code
• all the data objects are now in one big DATA container, which is being called instead of all the data externals.
• created a proper font/pixel load function for the gui.
• the game now runs 95% FPS independent, which means the framespersecond can be changed to control the smoothness of gameplay.
• found a cause for a problem where in debugging, the whole game glitched when the ship was accelerating near the opposite direction of the velocity
• this was the biggest cause for slowdowns on higher FPS.
  :interface
• created the energy bar.
• created the armor/shield bars.
  :space
• fixed a bug caused by projectile collision, and wrote a smaller Home() function for missile in the process.
  :ships
• in case the damage is greater than the shields left, it damages the armor as well.
• create shields for ships, made a way to perfectly fit them to the manta/hornet (using the same sprite), added shieldpoints to ships (which regenerated by a certain amount every full second, and consume energy in the process), and found a correct way to calculate the angle chosen for the shield's frames.
• created a light fighter, the hornet.
• the ship's weapon hotspots are now based on x/y and should work accurately.
• created an animation for the stablizers (dexhaust).
• allowed ships to slow down to zero using the down-arrow key.
• added a pointer to a fired projectile linked to the launcher ship, and made sure the projectile can't hurt that ship.
  :sound
• the game preloads all sounds to memory, stores them in an appropiate/easy-to-use container, and frees them on progam exit.
• in case no music is found, music is properly disabled (even if enabled in the cfg) and all music related buffers are freed.
• frees a music buffer when the program terminates.
• added music support, and used a library to decode mp3's for music.
  :AI
• created an AI class, and a container.
• created a basic aggressive ai
• following the player up to a certain distance, and shooting when it is facing the player.
• a lot of effort was put into an obstacle (asteroids) avoidance procedure, which is still in too early stages to be implemented.

Now that's an impressive list of changes!
