*Blush* Aw come on, none of my work is nearly as advanced as this! :)

Same here - sigh...

I think it looks fine!

Support for basic shapes won't be enough to put clothes on a character and
do collision detection with the character's body. But it's still a good
start.

Yes... :)

Good luck. I look forward to see more! :)
