Mr Frosty's comments on my *original* source
------------------------------------------

When I released my first Net Yaroze demo, the
piss-poor Amateur Wars, I was hoping for some
feedback and the odd word of encouragement.

Even better, SCEE member James Shaughnessy (~shaughnj)
actually volunteered to rewrite the thing for
me, putting in the stuff that I'd have liked to
but couldn't really figure out on my own! I've
found what he showed me to be really useful and
its given me a bit more insight into writing code
for the Yaroze - so I've decided to post this ZIP
which includes his code (main.c) and look-up tables
(sincos.h) for the rotation stuff. If you're having trouble
with some of the basics of 2D, or want to find out
more about bitshifts (and the idea of scaling systems)
then this is a handy read...

SCEE member James Rutherford (~mrfrosty) also sent
me back my code, commented with a few tips and
constructive criticism about how I go about things.
Not as comprehensive as Jim Shaughnessy's stuff, but
an interesting read if you've grown familiar with the
Amateur Wars source (scary thought)...

Special thanks to both Jameses (!) for their help and
permission to post their work on my site!
