At the moment the only documentation is here:
<http://infiniteplatformer.com/info/help>
I hope to turn that into a wiki at some point so that any player can edit it.

These are some good ideas. The camera panning one has been requested already so
I will certainly make sure it's in the TODO list. With regards to copy/pasting,
is there something more complicated you want to do than what the clone tool
already does?
Right now I am focused fixing network bugs for the beta release. Once the beta
is out I will probably throw a list of features to the community and see what
people would like to see most of all in the game. Before I do that there are
some merges from John Ratke that I really want to apply (foreground object,
message board object). That's my basic roadmap.
Bugfixing the network stuff is going well. I have rigged up a system that gives
the drawing stuff a bit of a workout and I can now repeatedly cause the main
bug to happen which is the first step towards fixing it. Should not be too long
now.
Cheers,
Chris.
