| VMK 9b Play and Pause Part 2/2 | 
|
 VMK 9a
|
 |
| I update the game so that we can click on the Play button on the main menu. This causes the game resources to get loaded into the group 2 memory space. From the play screen you can also ESC into the pause screen and from there you can now return back to the main menu. |

| VMK 10a Keyboard Navigation Part 1/2 | 
|
| VMK 9b
|
| |
| In this video I show how to implement a method that will allow the user to navigate through all the menus without having to use the mouse. All navigation can now happen just by using the keyboard arrow keys. |

| VMK 11 Geometry Names | 
|
| VMK 10b
|
 |
| This is a preparation video for the next VMK. Right now all geometry that gets loaded by the LVL loader is not easily accessed via the source code. To fix this, I've given a name tag to all the geometry classes so that from within the Scene class I can quickly do a search for each one that I want. |

| VMK 12a Basic Level Editor Part 1/2 | 
|
| VMK 11
|
| |
| I start work on the level editor that we will be using in Ghost Toast. At this stage we will be using a TGA file (named map) to hold all our level data. By the end of this VMK, you'll be able to load a map file and extract the pixel data from it. We use white pixels to represent the floor, and black pixels to represent walls. |

|
| VMK 12b
|
| |
| I introduce two new color codes into our maps so that we can add details. I add yellow and magenta to represent wooden and carpet floors. All textures used in the project are included with this VMK. |

|
| |
| First thing is to correct the initial position (and direction) that we start at. Then I show how to add a ceiling above us. |

| VMK 15a Collision Codes | 
|
| VMK 14b
|
| |
| In this video I start developing the collision detection system. First thing to establish are the collision codes for each map square. |

|
|
| To simplify the game engine and also make the Pickup Object class compile, I made some fundamental changes to the game engine. In this VMK you'll see that the ErrorHandler can now be accessed from anywhere, GameOGL is updated and I clean up all the virtual keywords throughout the program. |

| VMK 18 Physics Engine | 
|
| VMK 17a
|
| |
| I copy the physics engine code from Physics Engine VMK 14B and add it into the game engine. In the process I also update the WindowsParameters structure. |
