Hi all!

I've done a small update to gravity girl, it's available in pal and ntsc
versions on my ftp site,

http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~partinga/ftp

Go for whichever one has the latest date!


I've not done too much to it [we've been busy at work getting a release out
the door, meaning 11.30PM finishes some nights :( ], but i'm having a week
off so i'll see what else I can do to it.

Collision detection is in place, but it's not the best of routines [try it
and see :) ], it still needs tweaking and special case code for the diagonal
blocks etc...

There's now a nice plasma exhaust :)  (I got sick of collision detection and
started working on particle routines instead)

And you can now preview what its like to blow something up when you press
L1!  Its a bit over the top for a small ship like that exploding, maybe I
should save it for the planet??

Anyway, please have a look and tell me what you think!


Cheers
Andy
