questions and answers

--where to draw (current loc plus current look vector * const) --what to draw (give user some up "100 right 50 text foo" mini-language, have them edit the example) --how to persist? save to database as new object type --how to display (for self and others)? load as dynamic object in DB (currentUsers query needs to change name!) --selection, editing, deleting scenarios need to be addressed too.

Should there be a jQuery popup dialog to help with delete/edit/create of objects?

Assume same UI will later be used to edit the land itself. (really anything in the game that isn't "autonomous" (e.g. can't edit ghosts, can edit trees)

I am coding this one. I am creating new type called "drawObject" . the plan is all user-left object inherit from this. plan to have a field called "drawInstructions" that is in DSL (domain specific language --the one already in use for the sign) for drawing. Also need (but not right now) a way to say how the item is rotated. ideally this is in the DSL also.
