Hey Matt! :) Our Preschooler is getting into astronomy and so we have been using Celestia. It's an Open Source 3D deep space simulator. It doesn't have a FreeBSD version yet, but the source code is available on the site http://www.shatters.net/celestia/download.html I know it isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it might be a nice thing to look into while you search! - Melanie _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
