  Well, that would be great but I don't know how.
I guess I could learn how to use Exotica but isn't DirectX
Windows specific? Neil is a triple platform lib now and I
know how to use it. I will definitely considder porting to
DirextX if the Neil release is a success.  BTW, are you
"proficient" in Exotica/DirectX? If you are, and want to
help with the project, I might change my mind.


>Either way, what kind of resolution are you thinking about?

I'm debating between 640x480 and 800x600. I also want to use
16 bit or 24 bit colordepth so I'm not sure which would be the
best balance of looks and performance. I'm use to using
640x480x24 but maybe 800x600x16 would be better, what do you
think?


>Good luck!

Thanks, I hope I don't have to rely on luck to finish this
project though. So far Rod Jackson is the only one that has
actually volunteered to help.

later,
Lewis Townsend
