Does it run on top of the latest version on miniB3D? Is it still worth using?

I would like to add shadows to my game :)

Thanks!

MiniB3D Ext was an off shoot from Simon's official trunk. To my knowledge it hasn't been updated in quite a while. It will however co-exist in your mods folder if you want to play with it (just change your import line in your project to switch modules). The fundamental changes to the engine I think made it a bit unwieldy to keep up to date, and last I heard Klepto was still working on a code overhaul with new features and the goal of making it easier to keep in sync... but that was some time ago.

I think at this point you're better off rolling your own shadow code, I never got the shadows from extended to be all that stable or fast the way I needed them.
