I almost feel like invoking my Fraxy skills...

Well, is there a quick way to test and modify an enemy? It seems that the XML files are loaded on game start, but I'd like to be tweaking them without exiting the game.

ctrl+F4 reloads existing XML. It will not read new files created while the program is running.
Alt+F4 closes the program and is sadly very similar to what I meant to do.

Hmm... I'm haven't done anything with XML, can I do arithmetics, for-loops, iterations, etc. so that I can create, say a bullet that slowly increases in speed?

Well, at least I got enough figured out to make when I wanted. The next thing tomorrow is to change the bullet sprite to indicate the two-stage behaviour.

Easiest way that I understand would be to spawn a new bullet at X speed with Y image. At Z time kill shot and spawn a new bullet with W speed and V image.
