I'll be driving cross country soon. Because of this, and the fact that I want to develop some other skills, enhancements to this application may be sparse for a while. The source code downloads have been halted for the moment, as they can benefit from some cleaning up and reorganizing. If anyone really wants to get a hold of the current code contact me with the link above.

Added features are: 1) When you get a high score, the game asks for your initials 2) The game now has a GUI allowing you to quit out of game. Utilizing CMenu class from MS. 3) A gui for configuration settings is in place but all code relating to setting the config will be added later.

January 16th, 2002 ------------------------------------------------ Need 3D models and Original Artwork Looking for low-poly 3D models for Whitestar and Vree saucer - for this game really only need top halves of them. Hoping to get them in 3DS Max format or .x file format. I'd also like to replace the menu screens in the game and the background game screen with original artwork. Open to ideas.
