2007-Nov-28:
Completely re-written AI, there are now battles going on in universe that are independent of player, pirates attacking trader convoys, police patrols attacking pirates or even complete war outbreaks.... this "Elite remake" should be in par with ArcElite (Archimedes Elite), well at least that was my goal... but there is more, hard-coded 7 extra missions and added many other features that appeared in Elite remakes and some completely new stuff, read description, hints and tips here:

2007-November:
Compressed gameplay, should be possible to play this "demo" to the "end" and become ELITE in about 5-6 hours. As soon as you start the game 1st mission begins and then 2nd, plus some new twists and some graphics and other updates...

- "Asteroid shower" is now 1st mission, save Lave!
- 'SPACE' toggle Planet info/Gal. chart screen
- 'z' toggle scanner zoom
- '3' when docked displays Messages screen
- Velocity lock, Sun compass
- modified scoring
- gameplay speed-up

2007-October:
Re-wrote 'gfx_' of Elite-TNK (C.Pinder) to OpenGL (GLUT), beside sound and Allegro many other things are gone, some things are new, everything will eventually be re-written, but as of now its quite playable 'BBC Elite' version of the game with main aspects of the game untouched. 'z' key toggles scanner zoom...
