Originally slated to a be a highly interactive bio-dome tech demo (something like a biosphere). You're a robot whose goal is to
maintain the order of the domes since for unknown reasons something goes out of control every so often. You accept missions and
travel to other domes to fix the problem. Along the way, there are some crazy lands and animals. Each animal has an interesting
and unique AI for each.

You're a sphere that kills other spheres using traps on level thats designed to slightly resemble a box with inward protrusions,
your sphere can change its orientation so it can be fighting on the ceiling of this box. This was our team's first 3d game, so
the graphics aren't the best, but the gameplay is amusing. You can combo several traps into a single object or combo them manually
during gameplay and find all the interesting ways to kill other players.
Supports up to 8 players on LAN.

Win32 based framework
Testing out win32 as a platform for designing UI. It doesn't look like much and doesn't do much other than the basics of what a menu should do. Can resize any edge or corner, and able to move the 'window' around.

HGE UI framework
Decided to give HGE api a whirl. HGE only offers hardware accelerated 2D api, so all other effects were custom made for this test. Ported code to HGE with additional features such as window focus and text output as buttons.
