Did Santa bring all you asked for?

We asked for a completed, working schematic, a website, an online golf course editor and a way of getting full-colour images to display on the screen, instead of 16-colour images with their nasty jaggedy edges.
Working late into the night on Xmas Eve, we finally got the full-colour images working, with beautifully drawn, smooth-edged hand-drawn pictures of golf holes on the little LCD screen. (Actually they're not full-colour, but 128-colour-palette images, but you can break a large image up into pieces and get near-photo-quality results with each piece using just 128 colours per image).
But that was all we had time for, for a few days - with family and work commitments (had a brilliant Xmas by-the-way) - development has stalled and will probably remain that way until after the New Year (even nerds get invited to New Years Eve parties you know!)
