Re: [Bontz-team] mpeg, new character

[Chuck]

ok, it is up to you.  640x480 doesn't bother me, i just was wondering if
there were any reasons as to why it was chosen.
i am going to my parents this weekend, so i don't know if i will have
something working by the end of it, but i will see what i can do.
expect me to throw something new into the demo by the end of next week.
