I dimly remember many years ago a game on the ZX Spectrum (it IS a long time ago) called "Lords of Midnight" which used a technique called landscaping to generate pictures of a landscape as the player moved through it. Does anybody out there know what this exactly entails? The only practical ways of doing this (that I can come up with) are using a set of predefined bitmaps and putting them into place as you interprete the landscape around you. Any pointers at algorithms, tricks and other useful hints will be well appreciated. If you know any (Unix) software out there that achives this or a similar effect, please let me know where I can get it from. Thanks a lot --> Robert ****************************************************************************** * Robert Gasch * Ich will einmal nach Saarbruecken * * Oracle Engineering * Ja Saarbruecken waere nett * * De Meern, NL * Ich will Haare auf dem Ruecken * * rgasch@nl.oracle.com * Und ein rosa Gummibett - Die Aerzte * ******************************************************************************
