 Roadmap for Pingus 0.7.3
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-Important:
-==========
+New Features:
+=============
 
-- Levels: All levels lack description
+* add cheats: all actions, unlimited actions, skip level, these must
+  be triggerable via maintainer-mode, not via commandline switch
 
-halloween1-grumbel.pingus - circle save - finished - needs testing (easy) - 
demonstrates a Faller bug
-halloween2-grumbel.pingus - rescue by jump - finished - needs testing (easy)
-halloween3-grumbel.pingus - digg tunnel - finished - needs testing (medium)
-halloween4-grumbel.pingus - wall bomb - finished - needs testing (easy/medium)
-halloween5-grumbel.pingus - join-jump - finished - needs testing (hard++)
-halloween6-grumbel.pingus - jump high - finished - needs testing  (easy)
-halloween7-grumbel.pingus - rescue - finished - needs testing - number of 
pingus wrong (hard--)
-halloween8-plouj.pingus - bridge broken - (hard+)
+* implement option menu
 
-Meduim Important:
-=================
+* rewrite Config file support, make game automatically write a default
+  config file, use s-expr, goes hand in hand with the new option menu
 
-- resource system needs a review/rewrite
+* generate MES-1 fonts and add UTF-8 support to the Font system
+  (http://www.eki.ee/letter/chardata.cgi?comp1=MES-1&comp2=)
 
-- "core/misc/404sprite" should be returned for missing graphics
+* CollisionMask can't handle RGBA images and likely shouldn't (due to
+  them being animated and stuff like that), we however don't have
+  seperate colmask for those images
 
-- The goal should be to provide fullscreen support for most common
-  monitors:
+Bugs:
+=====
 
-Monitor Resolutions:
---------------------
-  1920×1200 (WUXGA)
-  1920x1080 (HD-TV)
-  1680x1050
-  1600x1200
-  1400x1050 (Widescreen LCD)
-  1440x900
-  1280x1024 (19" LCD)
-  1152x864
-  1024x768
+* resource system needs a rewrite/implementation
 
--> 1920x1200 means fullscreen for almost anything today and would work
-   for all halloween levels, not so much for tutorial levels
+* "core/misc/404sprite" should be returned for missing graphics
 
-Level Resolutions:
-------------------
-Minimal-Horizantal: 1000
-Maximal-Horizantal: 2500
+* Level Converter needs to be finalized:
 
-Minimal-Veritcal:  600
-Maximal-Veritcal: 1200
+  - level converter has a bug that causes some object types to be
+    ignored (startpos and likely the other more excotic worldobj
+    things)

-- FPS: issues:

+Undecided stuff:
+================
 
-  decide whether to ignore cached_action != CA_NONE in
-  ScreenManager::pop_screen. This causes the game to crash if [ESC] is
-  quickly pressed repeatedly
+- start_pos is missing in editor (worked around by centering the view
+  on the entrances)
 
-  currently worked around by:
-  assert (cached_action == CA_NONE || cached_action == CA_POP);
+- implemented input/ComboButton for Shift+Tab combinations
 
-  but the menu still acts funky if one clicks heavily (i.e. two
-  screens get added instead of one or stuff like that)
-
-- rewrite Config file support, make game automatically write a default
-  config file, use s-expr
-
-- level converter has a bug that causes some object types to be
-  ignored (startpos and likely the other more excotic worldobj things)

-
-- bridging gets more complicated has graphical error (background?!)
-  surface background doesn't handle larger res due to the Playfield
-  being offsetted (might be solvable with new DrawingContext that
-  features Rect)
-
-- rework command line parsing so that it actually works properly and
-  doesn't depend so much on the order (setting datadir causes trouble
-  with translation, since translation need datadir to work)
-
-- parallax scrolling is funky where background tiles are small. When
-  scrolling right, the leftmost column of tiles gets overlapped by the
