comment Irrlicht mouse input
To find out which square is selected, couldn't you divide the X and Z by the size of the square? i.e when x = 9.8 and a square has a width of 2: 9.8/2 = 4.8 and therefor the mouse pointer is over the 4th square.

comment Irrlicht mouse input
The Y of the board should stay the same, it's the camera that moves around it (surely?). The 3d vector that is returned (startintersection) is the point at which the mouse pointer intersects the game world at y=0.

comment Simultaneous game states
I'm not sure on this (maybe someone could confirm or disprove) but can't the states be stored in powers of two? So states 1,2,3,4,5 would be represented as 1,2,4,8,16 and the FSM checks for the correct bit. Thus a state value of 17 would signify that state 1(bit 1) and 5(bit 16) are enabled.

I moved away because I wanted to try a component system - just wanted to learn how to use it.
