Not only should it have been written up and posted a while ago, it gave me a good chance to use XSD (XML Schema Definition).

I tried creating one for my tracking my vehicles' gas usage, but failed. Having worked through the issues on this one, I think I now know what I did wrong.

Next step is to work on an XSLT (XSL Transformation) for the file.

Anywho, this covers the experience between levels, and the HP, MP, and SP for characters, per level.

I think it looks really good, but I'm not sure a 3d world is what really drives me.

That's about all I've got to say at the moment. Definitely looks good, but ... if you don't want to meet people, what's the point?

Side-note: Couldn't find the themed environments.

Moving from my XP to my Vista machine, for purchasing and using iTunes, it seems I've got some changes to make.

1. Edit > Preferences... > Store > Buy using a Shopping Cart
2. Edit > Preferences... > Store > Automatically check for available downloads
