Thanks Christian and res :) good to know that i'm being useful. There are
certain little things here and there that needs work like warnings, messy
code, documentation and memory optimization etc. I think they are all
secondary as of now. I'll surely do it afterwards but i'm keeping it on
hold as major part is pretty much done.

reflection and refraction are already been implemented in csisland but it's
buggy too.
ok i'll put my ocean in csisland and test shaders. should i make another
project for it?

I had gone though certain papers before. i just got a blur picture of it's
implementation as i wasn't that familiar with CS.

is it ok if i just implement that feature in waterdemo(the one that
genrates waves when spacebar is pressed) or do i have to implement it in
ocean?
