Yea, I don't really have much else to offer...

I'm starting a competition for Shoot 'Em Up Games at my forum. Please check it out, it'll be lots of fun! Deadline is May 3rd, 2005.

Thanks, I'll look into those.

Oh, I have another question. How can I lock the FPS at 30? I don't want it to go above that, because it changes too much right now, and I don't want the game looking like it's running really slow at...
