The wait is over:

This is using the "stable" PPA, as I was having problems running the 
last few daily PPA builds of GAMBAS.

One thing to note is that if you use an NVIDIA card and the binary 
driver be sure to uncheck "Use Conformant Texture Clamping" in NVIDIA X 
Server Settings under X Screen 0 --> OpenGL Settings. If this is checked 
bullets and some OSD items are rendered translucent (incorrectly). The 
GAMBAS OpenGL component seems not to have GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, which is 
necessary to force this being turned off. The ReadMe in the archive also 
mentions this.

Let me know what you think. The basic engine is nearly done, so in the 
coming weeks I'll be fleshing out the stages, ship models and AI. Also 
the music is from the 1988 DOS version of Silpheed, the game Sylph is 
based on. I'll be composing original music to replace it.
