Overview:

This is a proof of concept to see if a PiStorm is fast enough
to generate a simple 3D game like Geometry Wars.
I wrote all of this code myself over the past month or so using my own 
3D engine PolyNova (which I wrote about 30 years ago!).
It's pretty much complete, just needs some sound/music and a scoring system
to finish it.   
If there is enough interest then I'll be looking for people to help me with
the music and sound effects so that I can turn this proof of concept 
into a fully functioning game.


Requirements:

1) PiStorm/WinUAE
2) RTG output
3) A 2 button joystick


Configuration:

You do not need to install any libraries, this is all rendered using software.
Have a look at the G-WARS.INI for various settings, also check the ToolTypes
for further options.
The log file will output the average FPS on exit.
The escape key will quit.


Performance Considerations:

Update the G-WARS.INI if it is running slowly on your setup, you can disable
the starfield layers, the background grid and reduce the number of particles.


Limitations:

1) No hardware support
2) Only 16bit color depth is supported
3) Only 640x480 resolution supported
4) No sound or music


Version History:

1.1.01 - Initial release.
