Thanks. But as I said, these tutorials need more love anyway ;)

Depends on what kind of geometry you hate... I didn't enjoy the geometry 
I had at school very much, but the stuff you use for 3d graphics can get 
really interesting. And there's a big difference between learning for 
yourself and learning for the classes. It shouldn't be very hard to get 
comfortable with the basics required for some cool 3d apps :)

That might be a good idea, yet I think that introducing more basics 
before taking on a game will be a wise move ;)

Like if there were many comments ! :P I didn't have the time to comment 
for this project :> and considering that it would need it for just a 
moment, it wasn't really worth it :) I've got the experience from 
writing it and it's enough hehe :) But as for the humor in naming 
conventions - I couldn't stand writing dull code ;D
