Hi

These are really great, I'd love to have the time to do something like it
myself. I would like to see a larger resolution version or one encoded with
a better codec to avoid the artifacts.
One more suggestion is to have the two different types of ships firing
different colour weapons at each other so it is easier to distinguish
between them.

Keep up the good work.

Dave

PS Cant wait to see your final final version with media explosions etc.. :)

I agree, but I'm trying to keep the file sizes under 1 MB when uploaded to
this server. I might make a final version larger and put it on my web page.

Actually, they do. But MPEG seems to enjoy taking thin lines of any color
and making them closer to white.

Wont DivX give you a nice small file size without the artifacts. And also
help with telling the difference between the colours.

If not I look forward to the big version.

Maybe so, but whenever anyone posts a divx animation on these groups, 20
people tell them that they can't see it. Plus, divx 5 is horrible unless you
pay for the good version or crack it, and i'm not willing to do either. DivX
is nice, but there are too many hassles involved, so when I can just use
regular MPEG, I'm going to do so.

Mmm... Good stuff! A bit blurry on my laptop's LCD display - but that's
hardly your fault ;-) Can't wait to see a larger version... (But of course,
I'll have to - bigger graphics = bigger downloads *sigh*)

MPEG, probably. The original is very crisp on my laptop. =)

Thrusters! Now there's an idea! Heh =)

Where do you suppose thrusters would best go on these ships? I hadn't
thought of them...

I thought of that, but one-shot-one-kill was a lot easier to program...
