One other suggestion. Could you add tool-tips for the ingame icons. This will really help the newbie game players to get up to speed.
Btw, I have just posted a news item about the game on the main page.

savage: Actually the engine has OpenGL renderer. But it slow a little (comparing to DX one) and has some problems with colors because in DX colors in vertex buffers are stored as ARGB, but in OpenGL as BGRA.
But it's all solvable...
Probably I will use SDL for sound and network.
Thank you for posting on main page.
WILL: How about ease of use? I heard Linuxes are more user friendly than XP now. Is it related to Debian?
And which distribution is most popular? RedHat?
Depends who you talk to. My personal opinion, after setting up a Linux box for a Subversion server here at work, is that XP still wins in the ease-of-use stakes by a long shot.Originally Posted by Mirage
Yes, XP is still the happy friendly-go-lucky OS that we are all used to these days. And if you want to just basically plug and play right away, I agree with Sly, it's probably easiest. However Linux is not so far behind, provided you have a good GNU/Linux guy that sets you up well with everything you need at the start.Originally Posted by Sly
If you want to go with more popular distros I'd say that this includes; Debian, SuSE, Mandrake and Gentoo. Gentoo seems to be what some istros have failed to be... a plug and play easy use Linux like XP is to Windows. Have not tried it personally so I can only speculate for now.
RedHat is more or less a relic of it's former self. They renamed their 'personal edition' to Feldora Core and tried to recouperate it from what they did to try to commercialize Linux. But if you ask me the damage has been done and it's spoiled goods with all it's electronic licenceing and popup shareware-like garbage gunking it up. It also as a major drawback was also VERY slow to keep up with current WIDELY USED packages like PHP, MySQL, Apache, etc...
Compiler-wise; Extra work might be required to get FPC or Lazarus working on Debian however, but I find that it is the golden egg of the lot. [size=9px](Just my personal oppinion!)[/size]
I recommend you developing it on Gentoo. I <3 Gentoo.
I have a 2005 CRF 250 so <^>(><<^>
