Compileable version of Alien Breed 3D II - The Killing Grounds

I mean I guess we could see what happens if we render some text, call out to Vid_Present() before going into the loop. It might be possible to do something with it beyond just asking "is it pressed yet?"

for sure, it could be a good point to show mission stats/objectives or what not.

I'd be happy to add some motivational text like:




"You know you're messing this up, right?"



"Carter Burke could do better than this!"



"HINT: Try to make the projectiles collide with the aliens."


or


"Andy Clitheroe wants you to know there's a game called Fears available."

Maybe that's one for dying lol....

This reminds me of my Quake mod. I added so many death messages. Depending on how high you fell from, you might see "Well, <player name> certainly made a big impression!" and similar sarky stuff. Another was something like "Hey, <player name>, how's the mineral bath?" when dying in lava.
