Its cool, i like to exchange ideas too when it comes to programming.

I was thinking of making the file format like this:

[spoiler]

• Header
  
  • Relocation Tables
    
  • Raw Data
    
  • String table
    

(below)
nts -> null terminated string
#-> number of bytes

Header:
(nts) Tag
(4)Size of file
(4 * x)relocation table offset(s) -> x depends on type of data file
For a ssbb model, it would've included tables for vertices, the bone tree hierarchy, the string table, one for the polygons...etc.

Relocation Table:
(4)entry count
(4 * x)entry offsets

Raw DataLets says this is just a sprite with a source rectangle and name of the sprite sheet for the source sprite)
(4)name offset(local?/global?)
(4)X
(4)Y
(4)Width
(4)Height

String Table(null terminated strings)
(4) entry count
(nts * x) name ("Shy Guy Sprite Sheet")
[/spoiler]

I've been playing with bit shifting and unsafe pointers in the past few days. But i can't figure out how to create the binary structures (header/reloctable/etc). I would explain more but i can't describe it =/.

========================

The next update will include a hub, damage(getting hit), and saving/loading (useless right now but im working on it obviously)
