+# Notes
+
+The problem I'm facing right now is I really need to figure out how Quest 
+Objectives will work.
+
+Primarily there are a few different objective types;
+- "Code" controlled
+	Covers anything that can be triggered by the code itself, usually using the
+	event system. Here are a few examples;
+	- "Go talk to this person"
+	- "Go fight this boss"
+	- "Activate this switch"
+- "Check" controlled
+	Basically these are objectives that can be completed and potentially
+	uncompleted again if the circumstances deem it so.
+	
+	Consider;
+	"Go find 3 potions", could happen automatically, but if the player were to
+	then consume any one of those three potions, then the objective would
+	un-complete.
+
+	I think in this scenario the actual turn-in is either going to be an active
+	checker that turns the quest in automatically, e.g. consider the "find 3
+	potions" scenario I put above;
+	You would get the quest, go find 3 potions, and the instant the third
+	potion was collected, the game would trigger a cutscene and the quest would
+	be complete as part of that.
+
+	Alternatively the player could have to collect 3 potions and then turn in 
+	with an NPC, who would check when interacted whether those items were in
+	the players' inventory or not. This is particularly so for key-items which
+	in theory cannot be uncollected, but would still require this "collect and
+	then turn in" approach.
+
+	Thinking about it further I think these check controlled objectives really
+	are the same as code controlled, I would just need some other kind of code
+	to be doing the actual checking.
+
+Next Steps;
+- Create looping event type(s)
+	Loop Event
+	Allow go to Event can go back to parent and re-start it
+	Restart Event
+- Create an ever-present event type
+	This is an event type that will process "constantly" (realistically I think
+	this is an event type called "AutoStartEvent", with options to loop)
+- Create more conditions for checking if player(s) have items, take items, and
+	more.
+
+
+
+COOKING
+Next I need to create some events to send you to a cooking mini-game. Cooking
+mini games will just be a different kind of game scene that can't be exited.
