GTA2 Save Game Editor

Does anyone still play GTA2? Those first two are still playable to me, I don't see them becoming any less fun with time either. Anyhow, I wrote a save game editor for GTA2 for the sheer fact that I haven't made one before. During winter break I got obsessed with GTA2 again and started opening the save game file in a hex editor and trying to make sense of the values. After about 3 hours I successfuly reverse engineered the entire binary file. Even though there's already an editor out there, I wrote another since I wanted to try GUI programming. Plus, the other editor isn't open source. :) I used Qt as the GUI toolkit. It builds on win32, linux, and even mac. Thus, the power of Qt.
