Greetings!

Arg, I'm too busy even to mail to the AR-list... truly pathetic. :)

to use it!" ...but I think I've already said that... once or twice...
can't hurt to say it again though. ;)

Code from scratch! I plan on doing an ANSI C (uuurg, prolly won't be
able to use C++ on the Palm...) OS and hardware independent RPG engine,
which then can be linked to a 3D engine on the Palm.

I have a couple of Excel sheets where I've (through trial and terror)
entered alot of monster data, and I hope that my experience (and later
on, input from others) will be sufficient in order to create a
convincing AR experience.
