3dWorld
Please test my 3d world, write me what fps do you get at what system/screen resolution in which room.
The controls are
w,s,q,e walk
space jump
mouse look around
Tab info
~ write message
it works over the internet but unfortunately you won't be able to connect the server since I am on Lan behind the firewall
Tell me if u like it, what should be improved...

Looks good. Topped 60 FPS on my geForce3, 1.2 Athlon system.
I like your water effects (in the warp-frame and fountain). The control scheme is a bit awkward (WQES as opposed to WASD), but at least it's better than the arrow keys. You might want to look into time-warping your particle systems so you don't get that initial "spurt," ya know? Just process a couple hundred cycles when you first initialize the system or up your maximum particle capacity.
Overall, great effort.
Peace, ZE.
EDIT: In addition, kill your window, *then* switch back the screen settings. That'll restore things better, IIRC.
I thought this was a neat little demo/game. Not very graphically appealing I must say, but it played and ran nicely for me which is what counts I think.
On my computer I got ~240fps steady, and I had on fullscreen, antiallasing, and 1024x768 in your options menu. I have an AMD XP 1800, Radeon 8500 ( oc''ed to 300 core ), 256 DDR, and Windows XP. Good luck, and I hope this helps you.

I find that a lot of open gl games have horrible control over frames per second.. for instance starwars jedi knight 2 got about 50 fps on my box, where as directx games like warcraft and such, get 120+.
ran well, except the water particles 60 in the house and pool 40 in the hall (at highest res) *antialising option froze the start screen [duron 650 128 mb nvidia ge2
Neat little demo, I like. I especially liked how I could look down and see my feet
Needs lighting, didnt look that great with the world so bright. Also, the mouse movement or something was jerky, try smoothing the mouse (average over the last frame or two).
Its nice, I get about 60 FPS in the fountain room at 250+ everywhere else (about 350 max when staring into a wall). However, I would suggest that you change the lines used for splashes (and the fountain) to thin quads so they scale with screen resolution. Currently, as gl lines, they are only one pixel wide at any resolution, so they look smaller in higher resolutions.
