Almost there!

I'm super-excited about the upcoming release of Surrounded! :-)

This follows elation last Friday at "finishing" it, then despair on Saturday when I tested it on another PC to be faced with a black screen and only half the notes of the music playing (and seemingly in the wrong order!).

Yet now those bugs have been fixed. The first was to do with not all computers being able to read 32bit index buffers - absurd, I say! Thanks a lot, MS, for not mentioning this in the documentation. :-P The music was a matter of volume (which must be below 100 to work on some sound drivers, not 128 as is the case on my development PC!). Then there were various installation issues (particularly with regard to DirectX DLLs) and registration issues and even some problems with alpha-transparency.

This morning I re-tested on another PC with no problems. I shall try to double-check this on a couple of others before release. :-)
