I wrote my own rotating solid cube a few months ago, I too had a bit of
a struggle with it, BUT I did NOT post a 227kb binary .exe file to
everyone in c.o.m.d. and c.g.a.

Here's the donut you wanted. -> O

I've allready got my own rotating cube source file.

Oh gee, thanks, a .exe that shows a distorted cube. Just what I never
wanted. I didn't even run the damned thing, why should I risk virus
contamination on a program I know doesn't do what it's supposed to do.


I thought I'd log on and grab the latest posts to c.o.m.d, I have to be
quick because for every second I'm connected to the Net I'm paying out
money, I was wondering why the newsfeed was taking a bit longer than
usual. Would you like to send me a cheque in way of compensation??
I thought not.

Take your damned binary file attachment and stuff it where the Sun
doesn't shine. My phone bill is high enough because of downloading stuff
I do want without downloading stuff I don't want.

Having said all that, take a look at my rotating cube source on my site,
it uses the Allegro library so you might not be able to compile it. But
I care not.

BTW I just added you to my killlist, I won't be seeing anymore of your
posts, I suspect a few others will have done the same.
