In windows 98 it Naturally. By using hardware acceleration and OpenGL we are able to speed up the development and achieve higher image quality and smoother gameplay. 3D cards are so common nowadays that there is no point of not using one. > crashes alot and I really don't know how to move around.

The game looks much slower than it actually is because the moving code hasn't been properly implemented yet. This will be fixed on future releases. We hope to get version 0.4.0 out very soon. Majik has been in development for few years now in various forms, and we have no reason to stop developing it. You can read our history from our website, www.majik3d.org/history.html if you're interested. --- | Jari Saukkonen + jari.saukkonen@cs.helsinki.fi : coral -. | programming music graphics | dolphin : | art keyboards web | nah-kolor | +------------------------------------------------+-----------' | Babylon5-inspired 'shadow function' 0 <= t <= 4*pi/3 : x(t) = (sin 8t)^2 * (5 + 3sin 8t) cos (t/2 + (sin 8t)^2) . y(t) = +-(sin 8t)^2 * (5 + 3cos 8t) sin (t/2 + (sin 8t)^2)
