No particles seen #4

The ponies leave a solid line trail, but no trails of flowers.  Ponies
merely disappear when they strike a line or the water; they don't explode
like I see in the videos.

In the console window, I see the message "No hardware accelerated
particles. :( Using fallback."

I'm running Pink Pony 1.0 on Windows Vista x64.  Video card is a GeForce
7600 GS with latest ForceWare drivers installed (186.18).  I've tried
turning desktop composition (Aero) off, with no changes.

I've also tried this on my laptop--also running Vista x64--with the same
results.  My laptop has an ATI Radeon HD 3650 video chip.

Hello jstanley0,

The 1.0 version of Pink Pony only supports particles with (nVidia only) DX10
compatible GPUs. The fallback does nothing in this version.

I have implemented the CPU fallback for the particles by now. It's a quite a bit
slower than the hardware accelerated version, but it works well.
You can check out the current version from GitHub (
http://github.com/ginkgo/pink-pony/tree/master ). Alternatively, you can wait a 
few
days until I release the new version.
