Hey there,

nice stuff already. Lucas.

FYI, make your life easier and merge our master branch from time to time. 
Otherwise you might end up with a huge merge conflict at the end of your work 
which may be hard to fix.

In general it's easier to deal with smaller merge conflicts than with bigger 
ones. Also makes regression testing easier for you and maybe for us.

However, just a recommendation.
