My game (such as it is) is proceeding apace.  I've got 3d polygons
working, and want to intermingle those with sprites in 3d.

  What's the best way to do this?

  I saw a sprite primitive type in the TMD description -- is it
supported by the Yaroze libs?

  There was also the SCEE 'flying' demo, which used PushMatrix() and
PopMatrix() and weird global things that scared me off.  Is this
actually simpler than it looks?

  I'm just very happy--stuff's actually been working, and I've got to
say that the Yaroze and the people behind it are among the cooler of
things I've ever seen.

Thanks a lot,

mike
