Argo Engine V0.2 - first screenshot

My improved Argo Engine now has 500% better code design. Now all i need to do is make it do more stuff.


Experiencing the Argo Engine (Tutorial)

While the Argo Engine was doing great relative to past graphics software I've written, it had too many bugs, design flaws, and took too much time to render. Because the GUI is confusing I have written this tutorial on how to view a scene.

STEP 1: Download the program here and extract it.
STEP 2: Open "Argo Engine.exe"
STEP 3: Click File->Open. A directory browser will come up. Go to Data->SaveFiles->Dragon Bunny.dat
STEP 4: Click Open, give the program 15-20 seconds to load the resources.
STEP 5: Right-Click and hold the center of the window and drag the mouse in order to rotate the scene. Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Hold shift or ctrl in order to move the camera in different ways.
