Hehe, I have work projects to keep me in the "game", but engines always  
have to come before the game.

Would you be willing to send me your code? I don't know how much of it i'd  
end up using, but it would be really helpful in understanding how you got  
as far as you did and where the trouble points were ... maybe it'll give  
me a head-start on the project.
