Hi,
user Commandercobra from the chat asked me to help him make a Captain Forever style game. I've never played it, but it looks awesome-

Basically, I'm making an engine that enables the player to create a ship out of dragable blocks. I'm going to post my progress here, so that when i inevitably give up it might be of use to someone. Feel free to edit it, as I'm sure its not made in the best way. I'm also keen on doing it mainly with maths rather than detectors etc.
