The actual game is still handled by OpenGL and my own C-based object  
system (structs with pointers to functions, yay!).  It looks like the  
Tiki object system could be a good replacement, but I'm not familiar  
enough with C++ syntax to make it work just yet.

Arrow keys are the D-Pad, Enter is start, and Esc is B.  I'm going to  
do a separate set of backgrounds for the PC versions with PC keys on  
them, as well as higher resolution (512x512 looks kinda blurry on the  
PC, but 1024x1024 fills the PVR's RAM up quickly).

I posted a list of errata over on dcemulation, I'll post it here too:

All:
* After finishing a round, press ESC or B to return to the main menu,  
not Start.
* There are no Addons or Options menus.
* The list of levels doesn't scroll yet, so there's one extra level  
in the BlapOut section just floating.

Dreamcast:
* Contrary to what the menus say, you can only use Start to advance  
through the menus -- A and B aren't hooked up yet.
* No sound

Windows:
* To exit, select "quit" from the main menu, and then close the  
window. Sometimes the app wont quit by itself if you just close the  
window. You can also end its task if it keeps running in the background.

Mac:
* Occasionally the app will open and then crash instantly. Just try  
to run it again and it usually works. Not sure what's causing this yet.
