I've done a lot of back end server and dat…

Hi.
My first child was born last week Tuesday (A healthy boy at 3.7 kg named Ryan). But inbetween changing nappies and supporting my wife I managed to get a good amount of work done (and with work I mean writing Strife seeing as I'm on paternity leave from real work ^^).

I have started working on the server and I created a basic Entity system which at the moment supports multiple players and a couple of boars walking ("patting") around an area of the map.

OK
Although i never thought of myself as the kind of person who would enjoy documenting the developement of his projects I'm going to take a swing at it. Seems like it might just be good self inflicted therapy.
