Bad News is that my new charger managed to practically explode after only 3 days. Worse, my old charger that was in desperate need of replacing (didn't charge the battery, barely ran the computer at third of the optimum speed) is now barely prolonging the life of the battery for now.

Good News is I might finally have a monitor AND a new desktop for hosting! I'll probably get it in a couple of days, and I'm half sure its at least slightly better than the cream-coloured hunk of scrap that I was running Wargames off before.

I will probably try hosting Exploder first, testing it before release (my personal housekeeping of Exploder's code has taken longer than I thought, ACWraith's graphics has been integrated for quite awhile :p), but it should be suitable for Wargames hosting if the router and internet service doesn't crash it.

Wargames wise, I'm attempting to add in a "map" system which lets you see the entirety of your (or other people's) screen for easier targeting, locating or appreciation. I got a horrible feeling it might be a bit too laggy for actual gameplay but I'll try and improve it or cut it down for use. I'm also pondering whether Schools and Hospitals should be more like towns/commercials. This is a feature that is regularly requested, and will probably act similar to a Sim-City-like feature where each tile is "powered" or "not-powered" and "watered" or "not-watered". I will probably add in detrimental effects for power plants and factories being built near hospitals, adding extra rules to city planning.

Finally, Dreamland is progressing to a fair degree. I'm almost to the point of getting onto the planets and starting life, and have already started mapping out some real-life solar systems (especially those with planets). When I've tidied this up and finished the Moon Formation stage I'll release this, perhaps as a separate program completely. Easily one of the most fun things I've created! :p

You can have a rough gauge of how much is done to Dreamland by checking out its specially-designed wiki over at: http://dreamlanduniverse.wikispaces.com/ . Stages that are "done" are in bold, with italics planned (although they are subject to change). When I feel up to it, you might also see screenshots, of which I'll post up here too.
