- Maybe Bertrand could do the camera swing? It would be a good starting point.

-
- I think you got me wrong here. I ment the intro, not the game. :-)

-
- I think you got me wrong again. :-) (it can be hard to follow me sometimes :-))
- Noring (that's the name of a great coder) from NoCrew (a swedish demo crew and
- the best in sweden, or? >;-)) had done a screen in a cool demo with a texturemapped
- bird flying around and it's calculated in realtime. It has nothing to do with
- the great picture that Graham did.

- A copy of Apex would be a good start and it would put food on the table
