Code: Psycho (psycho@loonies.dk)

Crinkler (1.3) used for compression and Loonies FMSynth 2 for music.


Compatibility
=============
DirectX 11 and a DirectX 11 Graphics Card required for the real version.

DX10 fallback version requires DirectX 11 software and a DirectX 10 card
with compute shader support (Geforce 8600+ or Radeon 4770+). It is using the
graphics pipeline (geo+pixel shaders) for rendering and is not particulary 
size optimized.
The _512k version is only using 512k (larger) particles for slower systems.

Designed for 16:9 resolutions.


Info
====
1 Million particles in the system, updated and rasterized by single compute shader.
Distance functions (and more) used for spawning and affecting particles.
Simple blur/glow postprocessing compute shader pass.

Updated: New found space allowed removing some of the most dirty tricks in the 
DX11 startup code. And added "full quality" DX10 versions (which may be faster 
than DX11 version).
