I'm really excited for this project!

Do you think the 3D engine you've written here is something that would be reusable for other projects? If so, and if it was something you were interested in, I think it'd be a great boon for the community if you were able to open-source that portion of it! Obviously I understand you're in the business of making a commercial product here, but if nothing else I think it would be really cool to see the details of how you got this to work!

Code will be open source. I'm a terrible C programmer and other people could fix/patch my crap code and make it better for more people. Gonna put it up on github when ready.

from your past issues I was really expecting attempts to DiskCopy to result to the cat breaking the disc or something. Your next project, I hope
Soooo funny thing. As I was setting up the SE/30 on my desk again, I left the mouse cable hanging from the side and turned around to a half-chewed adb mouse cable....

On the bright side, I have a bunch more adb mice lying around (one might be from you IIRC, but not sure) that I can use and the MacAlly trackball. Still... RTFM makes another Mac victim today.

To everyone else: Never leave a copy of the game's source code on the same machine you're demoing. Some wise guy turned the game off while I was away and found the source code. I was wondering why stairs aren't spawning anymore in the levels and found some bits of code + a commented out poem in romanian that wasn't there before. Luckily I had backups that are probably 1 day older than the build but man was that a little shock :))
