But of course it did not work out as expected. I had a lot of faulty assumptions. First of all, add does not always adds to end of the list, and it was obvious actually. I knew Remove does not have to remove from last, what I did not realise was, removing head is not an option. After every modification another problem emerged, and of course a lot of segmantation faults. After days of working, I manage to fix nearly all of the problems, except unable to save or load, and an odd rendering issue. Some of the objects were rendering in wrong order. I tried everything I can think of on sorting, but I could not found the origin of the problem, or anything wrong in the code. On that point I feel I do not have a choice, but surrender.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I may be lost some days, but I start to get how the authors of Cruise were thinking while coding it.
