<p><strong><span style="color:#090;">Project Invincible 2.01 (WB)</span></strong><br />
C++ source; mp; own GUI; Win32, Linux32<br />
it looks like the engine was not changed<br />
- new reflection implementation; the old implementation required an optional OpenGL feature called stencil buffer that, to my surprise, is not implemented in many graphics drivers<br />
- fixed: sometimes a piece was selected when you opened a dialog<br />
