My last (public) project before Ogre was <a href="http://www.telefragged.com/dmmanager/" rel="nofollow">Deathmatch Manager</a>, and a few years before that I published a couple of software 3D engines. You might have encountered me through those maybe... @Ciaran: thanks, I did look at SPF but didn't think I understood it enough, I'll have to read up more. @T7g: you *may* be thinking of someone else, I’ve never written a VB strategy game.

It doesn't reduce it enough to stop it being annoying though, so I think I'll implement a filter like yours. Thanks for sharing.

The Visual Basic strategy game engine. For the life of me I can't remember what you called it but we used to discuss it quite a bit somewhere like eight plus years ago. I was flipping through the summer of code page to see what new features would be coming to my favorite open source applications and when I saw OGRE I was reminded of a time long ago when you showed me your first prototype of it. Just thought I'd say hi, Zbad. If indeed I am correct in assuming who you are, and I just thought I'd stop in to say hello!
