I finally got a bit more time to actually write out part of the description of &ctrpg , and I'll probably have time to finish the rest tomorrow. As for the program itself: I managed to get this simple dynamic background done, which is pretty neat! Hopefully I'll find more time for the rest of it soon, at least enough to finish the basic demo I wanted to get done last week.
If you're wondering how this relates at all to tabletop character sheets, the short version is that the character sheet is really just something to render; it's the rendering I'm really interested in.
