I think, to get something looking like that you would need a larger texture than 4x4 to make it look decent. I think, you may get away with it using something like 32x32. Not sure the 'rolling' effect would come through though. I'll have an experiment and see if I can come up with something.

I did look at modarchive, but I couldn't find any info on how they could be used, and really didn't want to take any chances..
Thanks for the suggestions tho, and encouragement.. It really does push me to make more

Thanks for the nice comments.
Mike, didn't you have problems with the keypresses on my 20second intro too ?
I have (on rare occasions) had some people where cobra programs don't respond to keys/mouse. Gut feeling is that something on your machine is getting in the way (It's not something I've seen for a while, and I'm still trying to track down the final reason for it )
A reboot usually fixes it, which doesn't help debugging
If you have any info on OS version, any sort of screen grabbing or global hotkey type software you may have running it would be a great help.

Decided I just had to do one...

Hope you enjoy it....
If anyone can suggest a source of music to use (legally) in my demos, I'd love to hear.
