Well as promised attached is an alpha where you can pilot a galleon around and see the frame rate displayed on lower right. There are a few sounds built in for atmosphere. There is no game logic or collision detection since it is early days and I am learning as I go. If you start it with your Caps Lock down, antialiasing is activated which affects frame rate. Your mileage may vary of course. I would love to hear the frame rates people will get, please post them here. I know some of you hotrodders will run it on your Onyx (LOL) which is very cool and I want to hear from you, but my goal is a game that is fun for 2 players on Indy class machines. I do not have an Indy, so I am relying on you cool people to let me know how it runs. I wrote, tarred and zipped this on my (6.5.30) O2.
Cheers.
