I was also really taken by how nice the bumpy floor and the clothes were in the
demo.

The demo isn't much different on my machine speed wise when comparing the C++ or
Eu versions, even interpreted. I put a constant in at the top of one of the
includes to set the number of animated characters. 125 is about the practical
limit on my computer / gfx card. I'd be interested to see how far your machine
can push the number of characters.

I'm looking forward to updates of this engine. The author, Nicolas Schulz, is
working on particles. That should be fun.

I'm thinking of trying a simple 3D chess game (sort of like the old "Battle
Chess") using the chess code from the archive by Normand Blais.
