First music playback in-game (sort of - still lacking a midi sequencer so I'm just routing a midi file into the emulator via aplaymidi - but the core synth engine works!)

A few bugs to fix though - voice stealing I think keeps resulting in very audible clicks & pops, and there's also a memory leak in the audio memory allocator I think. But still, it's got sounds!

We fought against the flymon though it managed to escape before we were able to finish it off. Now to plan our next steps. Streaming Data Anomaly Hunters SCAR at https://www.twitch.tv/ra_zim

Spent a bit of time tinkering with this online combat tracker for the Hero System. Seems to be a work in progress, but it did a pretty smooth job with the sample characters I imported (a couple of pre-gens from Darren Watts’s Golden Age Champions supplement). I hope the designer keeps working on it.
