oh yeah, it works now Though there seems to be quite a bit of stuff for something that doesn't do much or is there something special that I'm missing?  |

its more of a framework
theres a bunch of stuff its doing that you dont see
for example look in the config/ folder or the /Resources/GUI/ folder (all of the odd extensions are text files)
there is xml-style parsing, image loading using DevIL,lua scripting support, and truetype font loading
also the planet is adaptively tessalated and generated using 3D perlin noise |

I'm gonna pretend I understood everything, but what's a adaptively tessalated?  |

the triangles on the planet are tesselated or formed by the splitting of a another triangle (it starts with a isocahedron), by adapatively i mean that it changes the amount of tesselation (how many times each triangle is split) and thus the detail depending on the camera's distance to the planet |
