This is the sixth bimonthly 'What are you working On?' thread. Previous threads are here. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines:

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable.

Do you have other game programming experience? Odds are (prior; I have no evidence about you) you don't so I'm going to go ahead say it: tetris, breakout, asteroids, snake, invaders, pacman, and mario, before you try to do anything like a three month serious project. People seriously underestimate how much there is to learn from making simple well defined games.

Correct me if you are experienced.

EDIT: apparently you has the experience. you can disregard this. Leaving it up in case it helps someone.

Yes, I've been making games for a long time, and I completely agree with you. In fact, I'll be documenting the whole process of creating my current game. I should have it up sometime this week (I hope). If you are interested, watch this link (there is nothing there yet).

Do you make/work on games yourself?
