Version 0.47

Added a controls menu screen - (will add more later to pick other control methods)
Updated main menu - now shows a 3D WiiMote in the background
Updated Credits - now shows a 3D Viper (MK2) in the background
Reduced amount of enemies
Updated enemies movement logic - speedy enemies now find it harder to lock-on
Update Intro screen - camera view glides in 3D space
Added Camera catch-up the player's craft - the player craft will now drift away from the centre
Added some new 3D models - Viper (MK2) & Wiimote
Updated 3D object code to use all the layers in a Lightwave object (lwo)
Bit of code refactoring (reworking internal design), hopefully everything will still work the same


Version 0.36
- Added Radar - showing enemies, mines, missiles & satellites
- Added Menu, Intro & Credits screen
- Intro screen logo made from mines (scanned from tinylogo.tga), these mines start of slow then spurt off after the crafts.
- Added Music - 'Space Debris' Amiga tracker module, plays while in the menu screens
- Add Trails to enemy crafts
- Changed trails for missiles and mines
- Changed to way collisions work - ship to ship collisions now destroy enemy crafts
- Change the way the 'you are dead' screen looks
- Added 'bye' screen
- Fixed zero bugs "which was nice" - I've noticed the looped engine sound plays on into the menus if you died with thrust burning, I'll fix that on next release, at the moment its a feature ;)
- Added Hardware Drawlist for 3D objects - so pre-build objects can be spat out without the need of the main CPU
- Increased the resolution of Wiimote to help pointer travel off screen and still be active around the edges
- Changed the look of some resource graphics - mainly explosions which also double up as stars and exhaust trails
- Optimised the mines - I was creating and displaying a new mine trail every frame, requiring about 60 objects plus all the overheads that go with it.
- Optimised the dispay code for most objects.
- Added a lower detail moon with some rocks spinnig in orbit
- Improved the lighting on 3D objects
- Added ingame backdrop far into the Z plane so it scrolls slowly, reduced from 1024 width at the last minute to 800 pixels so it fits the 2MB upload limmit - I'm just far to lazy to look for somewhere else to upload, plus its a challenge making a game fit into 2MB ;)

Version 0.35
- Shows remaining foes & spores
- More game data moved into the XML configuration
- Sound fix
- Correct Meta.xml version TAG this time, needed for Homebrew Browser

Version 0.34
