Re: Limit Theory

First stretch goal at 75K has been reached, now it already has near 88K.

The 100K goal which brings Linux & Mac versions is well in reach.

What is the difference between this and Switeck's misjump inducer?

Edit: this post made me "elite" on the forum. In the Ooniverse I'm only "dangerous" - I should post less and shoot more :lol:

Re: Mostly Deadly - Finally a release.

Re: Starter help Pls

Can i host this on my Elite Website or do i have to ask somebody ? Since Oolite is GPL, anybody can host it. The OXPs which are CC licensed can also be hosted by anybody, but not all OXPs have a CC license. But why not just put links to the homepage, wiki and bulletin boards? Then you don't have to...
