Edited: Added XP version<\/p>\n

Ok, after some great no-brainer advice I hadn’t even thought of, I downgraded my openGL and easily made the executable.<\/p>\n

You can grab it here for Vista<\/a>
\n or
\n Here for XP<\/a><\/p>\n

As in the previous post – the idea seems fun to me, but the product just doesn’t do it enough. Please have a play through and give me your comments and advice. <\/p>\n

One thing I’m sure it needs is a targeting system for the bees. For some reason I took this out mid-development… It was probably before the humans would flee from the bees stinging them. Anyway, now its a pain in the ass to follow humans around, so I’ll be adding a way for the bees to track their targets.<\/p>\n

Another thing to adjust is the scrolling. I think I’ll increase the area on the edges where scrolling starts, but make the distance you pass over it scale the scrolling. In other words, if you are fairly close to the side you won’t scroll as fast as right at the side. Thoughts?<\/p>\n \n
