Progess!

I figured out how texture objects and this has led me to get the cool character portrait things found in all star-fox clones.

I just cranked this out as an example: The character is Harle from Chrono Cross. It's just a placeholder for now, I just grabbed a random picture of a random character and threw it up.

Technically it's a study of Parallel Programming Techniques with a Focus of the Cell Processor, but the sample problem I'm cranking away at is a gravity simulator.

A sweet youtube video of it in action can be found here! Unfortunately recording it slowed it down by about half, so I suggest jumping to about 3 minutes in, or maybe just having it run in the corner of your screen while you do something else.
