Two things:
1) I'm going to be taking a break from programming for the next two days. I'll still visit the board like an addict who needs their fix, and I'll still post and respond, but I won't be testing LS or adding anything else for these two days. Come Sunday night, I'll be able to spend the next 10 days working in the afternoon, and coding non-stop for the evening and late nights. Maybe I'll have Stage 3 finished and possibly onto Stage 4 during those 10 days, who knows? =)
2) Since the second part of Stage 2 was released, I've been busy fixing small bugs that would appear and working toward getting the button menus out. With some of the suggestions people had, and some features that I just want to add in, I'll be adding a few more tasks to finish for the last part of Stage 2.
I'm looking into pressing the DELETE key to delete a button (no longer holding CTRL and right-clicking), and the possibilty of making a menu button by just pressing INSERT on top of it. Moving buttons around the sphere will probably happen by holding SHIFT and left-clicking the button, followed by clicking its destination slot. Opening the button menu will probably be by holding SHIFT and right-clicking.
By doing this, I can open up the possibility of (dear god) each button having a left-middle-right click, as well as an ALT modifier AND a CTRL modifier. Although the odds of someone assigning 9 actions to a SINGLE BUTTON is slim, some people might want it.
So yeah, that's my idea, and we'll see how far I run with it until something else shiney catches my attention. Oh, shiney!
