Force Feedback support.

Thanks for that.

Force feedback is one of the project for the Google Summer of Code,
so there's no sense for me to take it, although I liked the idea.

But my supervisor came out with the idea to implement some ray tracing functionality.

I decided that I should focus on:
Graphics - first priority, and Audio - second priority.

I really liked the idea about ray tracing, and presented the idea to other lecturer in my college, who liked it as well, and I would like to hear some oppinions about it, and also other ideas on audio and graphics.

I think your best bet for ideas is to post a thread in gamedev.net such as http://www.gamedev.net/community/for...opic_id=493783

Take a look at this: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=9461
This demo (quite old one) uses real-time raytracing. I've seen a papers on the internet with the explanations how demo works, but I'm not sure where exactly I've seen them (that was quite some time ago, anyway).
