TheMethod - I was originally going to have individual +- buttons for each fish, but it was just getting 'way too wasteful. That would mean about 60 extra objects that have to be created and monitored by many lines of code. After doing a couple of fish that way, I decided it's better to have just one up-down control, and use it for whatever fish is highlighted. As fas as the highly stylized look, yes it's nice, and I'll prpbably go that way eventually, but for now I need to stick with standard MFC objects if I'm going to get this thing off to the Alpha testers within the next couple of hours.

rctneil - Yes, there's a cave which will be used by future creatures, but none yet. Can't spare the time for a screenshot. The fish AI has not changed for this first release of MA3, but will be one of the first improvements when I switch to the new fish models.
