 For a tech demo, that's a fantastic piece of work. I've played finished
games which don't play as well as that! :)
 The interface needs a heck of a lot of tweaking, and there's obviously lots

 That's quality, right there.

 Thanks for bringing it to our attention Mike - I hadn't heard of that one
before today.
