Hi Phil,

I was also going to attempt voxels using Net Yaroze.  Problem is it's a 
memory hog.  I guess it depends how big you want your world.  I don't
know when I'll start or finish it but you can check x2ftp for PC source
code.
I'll take voxels over huge ugly polys any day!  On a side note..I have a
couple 
of friends coding Outcast for the PC...hottest voxel engine ever made!

Regards,

George@SCEE
