The possibilities look wonderful! Very nice.

This is what we do at Archimedes all the time, so it works. The only issue is that we maintain the windows build system in-house here and don't publish/support windows officially. Nick Hebner used to maintain a windows build, but I don't know if it's current. The c-base demos are not always in sync with current svn, so maybe you're not running into windows issues but general version incompatibility stuff - what goes wrong? (As always: Traceback, os & video drivers used, svn rev or release used,... help in determining what's going on.) > Another issue is that we currently support embedding flash and > webpages in to the client.

That's a wishlist item., but there's a clear path to implementing it using LLMozLib (http://www.ubrowser.com/). The html should be rendered into a texture, so you have full compositing (alpha channels, scaling, distortion,...) available for the pages.
