Mechaius Technical Design
I don't remember what or how much was planned before, but as something to get restarted on the technical design, I was sketching out some of the architecture through some of the classes/components I think will be needed. This is not complete, but it is something to start with.
(Bleh, sorry for the poor formatting. I could just do things in Word documents or something so it looks nicer.)

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.</div><div style="text-align: right; text-size: 80%;">1 Corinthians 13:4-7</div>
