I know, I know. It's late. Far to late. Unfortunately, I'm lazy like that, but at least it's up now.

Please tell me what you think about it. What can be added/changed/removed.
Thanks.

The orb launcher becomes unsynchronized when an orb passes through a portal and gets 'reenergized'. Has anyone found a solution to this?

lol, i finally gave up after almost 2 hours of screwing w/ it and changed the ball respawn time in the point_energy_ball_launcher to 10000000000000000000.0f.
It's got something to do w/ that variable. But 0.0f just made it worse... (anyone know what the f stands for? is it float?)
Dirty coding.. phem :/ but i just got so tired of screwing w/ it and figured a fix would come out in the next week or so.

Yeah, I would guess it's float. It's a programming trick to tell the program what kind of variable it is with a single letter instead of, for example,
(That should be legit Java...)
(Double) time = 1000.0;(That should be legit Java...)
