Pantaloons indeed, my good sir. That's the kind of spirit we need around this place. Pantaloons... for everyone!

I've started organizing the first lesson. It's going to be a little bit different, having two layouts to start with, and will go into more detail about how and where things are set up. I'll also try to wrangle in info about private and global variables, since Ghost Shooter doesn't cover globals at all.
I'm also going to be trying some new methods for controlling Charlie, mainly custom masks, which will take some experimentation since I haven't really done much with them.
Some things may need in-depth explaining, such as how to set up the custom masks in the image editor, so I'm toying with the idea of making short video supplements that can be uploaded to youtube. Mind you this doesn't mean I'll be making the entire thing into a video tutorial, just certain sections that are hard to explain in small text boxes. I'll have to do some experimenting with video capture stuff, I haven't done much of that really.
