So, I need to do a few things to the code here;

http://64.90.55.88/SynapseSource-Win.zip

What I need to do

1)remove the opengl output window

2)Make it work with latest openni (http://75.98.78.94/default.aspx) - as far as I could tell it only works with a specific older version

3)Improve ram and cpu usage (assuming I don't get what I need from the first two changes)

4)Eventually rebuild it as an object in this sdk; http://cycling74.com/products/sdk/

I tried going through the documentation, but "the needle could not penetrate", alas. For example, I am still unclear about some basic things;

a) what are the relative responsibilities of nite vs openni?

b) which xml files are always used when the app launches, and what is their format?

Many thanks in advance
