Ok, I'm a rebel. I've changed stuff already...

Nothing major. I did the following things:

• Moved Exhibition and Season under a "Play!" (with an exclamation point...) menu. I did this for the next item...
• Added the 'optional' online play option under "Play!". We will eventually have this, so it might as well be in there now. The idea of what is happening there is:
  1. We go off and check some server which keeps track of all the games which are currently being played. It may/may not actually be controlling these games, but it would at least know they exist. But that's something to discuss later...
  2. We give the user a list of all the games which are currently available to play (I.E. They have a players, but not all 4.). This list might include what year the game is, what teams/robots are currently signed on to that game, etc.
  3. The user can scroll up and down the list and either select a game to join, or they can choose to create their own online game and wait for players to join it.
  4. What happens if they join a game is obvious from the box there...
  5. If they choose to create a game, they select what game they want to play, then we basically just automatically make them join the game.
  6. Note that the arena is selected individually for online play. The arena is just the scenery, so it doesn't really matter if everyone is the same. So, they can pick whatever they like...

Hope that made any sense at all.

==========EDIT==============
Oh, yeah. I also added "year" selections to the game setups...
