will ressurect it and hack in Text Elite or something.
Sorry, broken link. The correct link is:

I'd Debianize it, except is _way_ pre-Alpha. Its only unique feature
is that I remapped angles to 0-255 and wrote custom sin / cosine
functions so that by using overflow of byte variables it would
turn and spin. In effect, I created my own trigonometry system
customized for high performance computer calculations.
... what does a computer care if you divide 2pi by 360 or 256?
There is major OO C++ code in spacecommander. Wish I had some
support on the project. It is designed for old MesaGL and will
likely not compile anymore. Not that it was anything great
anyways, but it is a truly original program that I wrote from
scratch except for using some freeware tcp sockets lib. The thing
requires a client / server scenario. I wrote it back in 1999
I think.
