Section numbers is wrong.

New api functions: set-cell-water-height

Editor: smooth feature, transparency

Helpscreen: extra life
    (birds, teleporters, cactus  => picture added in the
       help1_*.png. Just have to add description text)

flags for animated objects: *bird-constant-height*

---------------

Things which *must* be done before the next release:

add some of the new features to existing levels

-----------------
TODO nice:
- make the mouse pointer in menus nicer (maybe rotation or small
scales variation... perhaps changing color...)


TODO speedup:

TODO game:
- in 'paused' mode, release the mouse pointer to allow
user to do something else (in windowed mode).

-----------------

Context sensitive help in the editor

A generic way to limit which objects are drawn each frame.

saving snapshots etc. as png instead of ppm

Make editMode's menu use two columns
What is eating 30 megs of memory just when we start trackballs?

Check for more possible buffer overflow, it could be a a security issue (though the 
scripting API definitly is, so *never* make trackballs setuid/setgid).

Maybe you should look at the Happy Penguin page
for Trackballs. People think Trackballs is bleeding/leaking
memory fast. 

And another guy is having problems compiling. Maybe we gotta
spell it out completely, how to compile it and what exactly it needs.
On the website, and in the INSTALL file.

Fix ball on edge bug

Correct orientation of texts when camera XY rotated
smooth transitions of day/night (compare to fog's)
Change keybindings, optional. Rotate arrows 45 degrees

> screen for a flash feature. The speed of the fade can be increased also if

alternative difficulty settings "sandbox" (just for playing around) and "champion" (see below).

flags with a callback function instead of points
Smiley when level complete
no timelimit on kids level
desert level
spikes from the side...
push from the side
wind
poison + medicine
change size. level with small pipes... potions.
wrecking ball. pendulum.
hammer
fireball.. 
clouds, fumes emitted from pipe
hot ground
fountain
extra time (by taking mr baby)
multiplayer on same computer
make a visible overview map
locked levelsets (have to complete X other levelsets first)

fix inconsistencies with integer/reals in scheme interface. backwards compatible!

AA of polygons in the map
use a helpfunction to load images
Polish levels by making ground black
pipes, fix physics when entering (rather than bouncing on entrance)
Question marks as "random" objects..
Starwars credits not centered properly (?)
Music not randomized properly?
- The fonts are still a little big on the settings screens, esp on 640x480.
Many share directories. Let editor create files in current directory
include a source spec file
"decorations" - use torus, box, diamonds etc. Have any effect?
display names of songs ( "Life by Design", "Genesis (In The Beginning)" )
Boxes - in progress

textures on the floor
"make install" for binaries
More floor types (moving, rubber, trampoline, ...)
Some "special" action on the right button?
Make "kill" flag visible in editor (only)
Speed bumps
Frozen screen effect (bluish flash etc)
Automatic snapshots of interesting game events...
"simple" debris (eg. for sand, frozen) using points instead of spheres

- black balls that roll on a set trajectory instead of homing in.
- laser beams (could be used for puzzles, killing black balls, etc. Might be 
switchable)

Do a real check for filepermissions in editor.

Switch font rendering to textured fonts. See eg:  http://www.lmnopc.com/bitmapfontbuilder/

------------- BUGS
I just downloaded trackballs 0.5.0 (source) and installed it
on my Linux RedHat 7.3. It seems to work fine except for one bug
which I also experienced with an older version of Trackballs in
the past (0.2.2 I believe). The bug is that sometimes when I start
the game the ball already gets an initial velocity in some random
direction and there is nothing I can do to stop the ball moving. So
it ends up on the ground. If I restart the game the ball keeps moving
in that direction. The only way to fix the problem is to quit
trackballs and start again and hope that the initial push isn't there.

I'm a programmer myself and to me this looks like you have an
uninitialized variable somewhere. Perhaps you should try valgrind?
