hmmm, actually here it goes beyond that. it finishes the toroid part, blasts
something with a tank thingy, which seems to spiral to nothing, shows briefly
yet another face, and then fills the screen with the letter 'Q' and seg
faults.
for completness, tryed it in an xterm (instead of a konsole) and it went
_much_ smoother and faster ! but it crashed at exact same location.
tryed in 32bit mode to see whole demo, which actually went smoother _and_
faster still !!
Actually the whole demo looks _much_ nicer in 32bit mode. The toroid there
really does looks 3D (instead of flatish 3D in 64bit mode) and the Mandelbrod
demo went from just beautifull to very impressive indeed.
now, if aalib does it like mplayer, they have an optimised renderer for some
platforms (like i386, 32bit mode) and a generic renderer for the reste.
If this is true I guess the seg fault might be in the generic renderer of
aalib itself and not in bb at all.
anyway, thanks for pointing me to bb. Beautifull demo (best seen in 32bit
mode).
