placeholders for grass tiles. The terrain was made of tiles that made pyramids but I decided I stupidly let the whole thing pass quality control too easily.

I like Fraps. Not sure what are good options for free stuff though. --- |

Under Windows I don't know. Under *nix I use Desktop recorder and just upload the output to YT.

I started the best game ever in the history of gaming. It was a Monday morning, the ideas were just shooting through my veins like rockets. But I decided the world wasn't ready yet so I gave up. Here's the code if anyone wants to finish it: int main() { AwesomeGameStart();

OICW said: It was a utility that would load bitmap with height iso-contours and create 3D terrain. User interface was lacking and there was no LOD, but actually it worked. There's even a possibility to return to it - now that I know a lot more about image analysis

Take a guess. Allegro and AllegroGL of course! You deserve a slap for that.

There is a public test version from 2010 available. (the thread has 5 pages because of some weird off-topic issue about women being able to make games James Lohr said: Take a guess. Allegro and AllegroGL of course! You deserve a slap for that.
That reminds me when I was using OpenLayer, and eventually abandoned it, frustrated at some of its weird bugs(one of which I actually ended up fixing later here for somebody else TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Rarely do I abandon anything. I'm this very day working on a resurrected shoot-em-up which is kind of an engine test for an older game concept I had. Then it's probably back to my strategy game, or maybe the puzzle game. Hell, I still want to finish the Monday project. -- |

I miss the old days of OpenLayer. I hope there will be a renaissance of its methodology sometime soon. -- |

I'll have to start something now just so I can officially abandon it.

Do it yourself, you're the fanboy. (But make sure it doesn't build on MSVC only) TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

It was part of my bachelor thesis, but right now I was deeply engulfed in finishing a compulsory school sofware project.
