I made a bones/skeletal system in my prototype

I made a 'small' private utility (it's ugly gui & ugly code) to work on bones&animations...

you are looking for a complete GUI?

yes you're right on climbing ...
svg loader... only when it's polished
witches and crates are just a "test" about physics and npc
thank you for the test

minimal svg is working (key 7 loads a level created with svg)
created a skeletal body for player and animated with it (sorry for climbing animations, terrible!)
I made an editor to create animations
I'll add skeletal to other characters
and then I'll add enemies
added key 8 : zoom player

added earthquake effect and 2 npc in the 2nd room (with basic AI based on Line of View)

it happens to me on Win7...
but not on Ubuntu...
I think it's something related to box2d...
