After Smiting Bugs upon bugs caused by the new changes I decided to model the earthling cruiser. Or course I could have done the exact same thing I did for the Ur-Quan. But I decided to be a little different this time.
I realized that ms paint has some pretty powerful features for what it is.
Here is a "screenshot" of the earthling cruiser getting into trouble.
He got 2 options from the ur-quan surrender or die.
of coarse this was edited just a little.
I’ll be putting up the source code of this release pretty soon. I’ve really cleaned up the code and commented nearly everything of importance (in my mind). So make sure to download it. (helps my projects stats)

Well I have posted another update.
Now I have a Question:
Do any of you want to work on the webpage of my physics engine and make it look all spiffy?
I was thinking some one might be interested in helping out this project in a small way. Remaking the simple webpage should not be all that hard. Ill even make you a member of the project (if you want).

I was looking for something that would conform with source forge's look and feel.

I think you should go for something like a simple column with a description, introduction, features, plans, goal etc, then a column next to it with screenshots. If there aren't a lot of content one page and plain HTML (maybe some CSS) will do just fine IMO. Screenshots are the first thing I go for when I want to find out what's going on, so I think they should be presented prominently.
Edit: Just a quick rough in NotePad what I mean in terms of function. Link. Hardly spiffy though :/
Edit: oh I see this is discussed already in the other thread, nm. then :G

Can XHTML do URL variables? What I would like is an XML file with all the info about the images on my site for example, then a client side interpretated ?HTML/CSS file that extracts and formats the info in the XML file. This would reduce server load (only images would be loaded).
The closest I got is this (click the XML file).
There's 2 fundamental errors with the method I used here. First, the XML file is used to link to the XSL file, but it should be clean from references to any formatting files. This might cause problem 2. I can't use url variables, maybe because; it's the XML file that is accessed first, or, XSL can't do url variables anyways.
Since I can't use URL variables the whole point of using XSL is nullified, I have to hardcode everything and create cloned code for each gallery page I have. Adding a third language might remedy this, but I'd really like to stay away from mixing another language like JS or PHP into the whole mess.
Right now for my site I use plain HTML and CSS, along with PHP SSI for footers and headers. I've used SQL, JS and all sort of fancy database systems before, but in the end it's easier and much more dynamic to update with just plain HTML, letting the CSS/SSI add the layout around it. Since I type in note pad I like to use capital tags, and the forgiving nature of plain HTML is always nice to have.

I see what you're trying to accomplish here... unfortunately I don' t think I can be of much assistance. I don't know XSL at all... the sum total of my XML formatting experience has been to actually use CSS (which does work, but is pretty hack-ish).
My experience with this kind of stuff only really covers static pages, not trying to use XML and XSL as a kind of dynamic page. I don't think XHTML will provide many more options than you have already with just HTML.
A quick fix would probably just be to have an XML file for each gallery page. Then you don't need to worry about URL variables... you can just have static URLs. Probably not ideal in any sense, but it's the best I can come up with.
BTW, I type in notepad too (actually,metapad, but it's pretty much the same). I didn't have trouble switching to XHTML, but if you have a certain style that you are quite attatched to (such as CAPITAL tag names), your mileage may vary.
