hail to all
i have been doing a few little things to the renderer. minor things, but they make a difference: the mousewheel now works for navigation, and a new diffuse shader looks really good. i'll send round a new demo soon. what i would like to know: who are you that run bluebottle, and especially, how fast are your machines? because the dev box is fairly fast (1.7 ghz athlon supposedly equivalent to a 2.1 ghz intel chip), and you would want something at least this fast. especially you, mr drake, how fast is your best bluebottle box? will you chip in on a networked game? i'd lean toward a navigable puzzle. a simple shooter would work but maybe not a "twitch" shooter as the framerate isn't twitchy-fast. 
i saw a game called xwelltris on linux that inspired me this week.
oh, i don't have sound working, i should try it. does anybody have a half height sound card that'll work? i'll take it by mail without complaint.
