A Mozilla Plug-in for Crystal Space

The following screenshots were taking using the Crystal Space software renderer in the test program for the Crystal Space Mozilla plug in. To do this, I had to first write new gfx and widget components for Mozilla that rendered to an off-screen buffer, then write the Crystal Space plugin. The plugin directly embeds Mozilla's Gecko layout engine and thus supplies a fully-functional HTML rendering engine to Crystal Space!

Downloading

Get Crystalzilla 0.3 source here (updated 3 March 2004) You will need the Mozilla source code (the version 1.6 or 1.7 branch), when you compile Mozilla make sure you have Freetype enabled). Then you need the Allegro Library. Of course, you also need Crystal Space.
