In this episode I implement a general workflow for my game engine. This basically consists of initializing things on a user's computer if it's their first time using it, and introducing them to a welcome wizard that will guide them through the creation of a project. I also began implementing a way to browse through your scenes, create new scenes, and switch between scenes. This means that you can start working on different portions of your game in tandem, and switch between them pretty quickly.

Lastly, I implemented 3D picking and began to integrate C# scripting. So, now when a user clicks on an object in the editor window it selects the correct game object in their scene to pixel-perfect precision. This is nice to have, because the user will never have to worry about clicking the wrong object on accident. I also have mono integrated with the engine to enable C# runtime. However there is no way to compile and add C# scripts yet... (That's coming soon :)
