  I learned text events today.  If you push the "t" key when your near the human you can
ask him for a tour, shortly after he will respond.  I've added some more pictures in the
Screen Shots section.

  Inserted my first non-player character.  It's a guy that came with the 3DGS package.
I currently just have him walking up and down the hallway....like most students at NMU.

  Finished my first hallway with office rooms attached.  All office rooms have doors
that will open if your infront of them (within your scanning range) and lights that turn
on with the touch of the spacebar.  Added some screen shots.

  Started adding my own code scripts to the engine.  I now have code for working auto-
lighting and opening and closing doors.  I've added the "3DGS Code" section which
contains actual pieces of code I'm using.  Screen shots coming soon!!

  Encountered many problems with the game engine and found out we needed to update
our software.  We had version 5.1 and upgraded to version 5.24.  After reinstalling the
software and upgrading, the program has been working fine.

  Added an image in the Screen Shots section of the floor plans to the
first floor of the NSF building.  This is what I'll use to create the
"virtual" floor.  Had to measure all the room dimension and convert them
to a scale that the game engine uses.

  Added the Project Proposal.
