Just a quick update on my progress. Good job! I'm impressed by this attempt to create a 3D wireframe engine and whole game. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Expect a video this coming weekend. If I can figure out how to upload it to youtube that is. François On 2012-10-10, at 05:41, Neil Riley neil.ri...@boxclever.co.uk wrote: Brilliant!
