Hey again! It has been a while

I have a machine with a similar Intel integrated video chip, and I have noticed that the performance is quite lacking. I've been looking at ways to optimise the terrain render, as that is what kills the performance the most but I haven't yet implemented anything.
The sun setting in front of the mountains is due to the Intel chips not supporting the OpenGL extension I use (GL_ARB_occlusion_query) to test the visibility of the sun. The lack of extension support on the older integrated chips also affects the viewscreen in the HUD (at least, on my hardware it does). There are ways to do the same things without extensions, but I have yet to implement them
I've noticed that 'crawling' effect as well on the Intel chip. That one has me mystified - I have no idea what's happening there!

If you press F1 while in-game, a help screen will appear showing the keys and what they do. Eventually I'll be adding full control customisation (also supporting mouse/joystick) - the options menu in 0.6 is the first step towards that
Thanks again for all the feedback!
