Credits
Thanks must go to everyone who's contributed to DevKitPro and libnds, particularly the people who implemented the pseudo-OpenGL functions which made writing this demo so easy.
A particular thanks must go to Dovoto who converted the NeHe tutorial demos for use on the DS. Some of the initialisation and texture loading code was taken from these demos.
