Only thing that is a bit strange - on your hp the text says:
Requirements:
Windows and Linux
So do I need both operating systems in order to play the game? ;D

I've been busy for a week or so, but hopefully I can get off my arse and implement "Scriptable Particles" into the Engine, and also I could experiment with scripting AI 8-) ;)

That's so cool man, I love the music too sick music (obviously not yours heh).
I think you should work out the fire particles some more though, doesn't really look too much like fire ;)
What would you do? Like maybe set their path so a sine wave or something? I don't know, cool shit though man.

Also, I noticed the plane with the Rasta colors (I assume because of your trip to Jamaica haha :))
Cool cool shit man.
There's no place like ~/

Thanks man! Yeah the fire needs work, maybe a simple sine wave would do the trick 8-)
Hehe your only one to notice, I thought the colors look pretty sweet! (I'm not a Rasta though :P)

Anatomy of an MMORPG (good read)

Anatomy of an MMORPG wrote:3D Engine
With the exception of a few 2D or isomorphic MMORPGs, almost every modern game now includes what is called a 3D engine. It is the job of the engine to take the mathematical description of objects, communicate them to your video card, and provide an animated world for you to experience. Most MMORPG companies license a third-party engine, but even then they will frequently need to perform a lot of low-level modifications that can only be done by advanced graphics programmers.
Also I'd like to personally congratulate the ES team on their recent productivity; this should mean a new AiGD soon! You guys rock! :mrgreen:

Will do! Anyways I started with WinSock2 a while back but know I use SFML's network implementation to make my own custom system, this concept is what I figured out by thinking of what is needed for some basic online play mostly using my imagination for the design, but also I learned a thing or two from college in networking course e.g. Client-Server Architecture, UDP vs TCP Sockets, etc... Google helps too I find :7

Couple of nice links ^^
