I have now uploaded the basic working project code and data to the free version of an Unfuddle (http://www.unfuddle.com/) SVN repository that I created a while back, so at least my precious project is safer than it was...yay! :)

Here is a very basic screen shot where I am trying out some graphics. This includes an Earth graphic + some score/difficulty 'rings' around the planet, and some 3d asteroids rotating around their own axis.
