I assume this will affect the editor.  After sorting out the game problem 
I've been working on for ages, which all basically started from making 
Bombers move in mid-air instead of being stationary, plus possibly a few 
small game play fixes, I was going to start on the editor.

If you are going to add scripting supporting, would it be a good idea for 
me to hold fire on fixing the editor?  Or, looking at this from another 
direction, what changes are needed to the editor for there to be scripting 
support?

Also, what things do you envisage Pingus being able to do with scripts 
that Pingus would not be able to do otherwise.  I do not know anything 
about Lua or Guile so I don't know what they can or can't do.

Thanks,
Gervase.
