I have problem with the basicness here. My game is in pre-alpha state
now, almost every of its functional piece working well except per-pixel
alpha and performance.
For me it's a quite late to rewrite the whole rendering engine in SiGL,
or in your stuff.

However it looks like I haven't got other choice if I want to release my
game in my lifetime and get slick performance. On my homepage you can
find a screenshot taken from the game. It's under 'My free software
projects->TankCity'. It's a little outdated, the game is almost working.
Todo is the AI and sound.
