How ya doin?
I'm Tom Speed (of same name on bb.com), I like to dabble with the Blitz black arts, I'm an 'ok' coder.
I'm currently still messing about with B3D + DX7, doing my own rendering of geometry e.t.c. which allows for more control over... well, everything!
I've always liked Elite, it was awesome in it's day. I recall it came with a short novel, I think it was called DarkStar? It set up the mood for the game, that and those 'elite' wireframe graphics made for a really enjoyable game.
Look forward to play-testing & helping out!

Ive been programming since the ZX81, been using Blitz since 2.0 on the Amiga. As soon as Blitz3d came out I started prototyping Elite Multiplayer had a few network tests ages ago but nothing solid. Now though I feel that im really getting close to a decent networking system (one that I have programmed myself).
