07:35 AM Feature #9: Level Class

Other things to think about: * Loading Music * Enemy definition, placement and AI options * In-file aliases/defaults (e.g. enemytypeA = (appearance, health, attackval, AI_flags). This would just be used to keep level files tidy. John Lyon

07:30 AM Feature #6 (Closed): Write some primitive tasks

Not completed John Lyon

07:29 AM Feature #14: Load and Play a Music track
