hello,

if you would like to try out sandstorm, my newest game, its on my site now.
i tried using George Bain's code from starfighters to read and load VB and
VH data from the CD, but for some reason i can't get it to work. i included
all my source, so if you find out what i'm doing wrong, please tell me so i
can fix it.  i might go back and add SFX (which are all converted and ready
to put in) once i get this cd problem out of the way.

as always, be sure to tell me what you think,

-Omar

just so i don't scare you to death while playing the game be warned of the
following:

-the AI is a little dodgy.  it'll move and do the basics though. sometimes
the opponents will start to rotate very quickly.  don't be scared.  its just
a  problem in the nature of the way they move.  i'll never use that approach
to AI ever again.

-i hand-plotted the points to make the triangles for the pyramids.  the GPU
chokes on it and the frame rate is cut in half.  press [SELECT] to toggle
them on or off.
