Just wanted to let you all know that I am taking a short break from this project.  The reason being is that my company has won a pretty big contract and it will require a few months of my undivided attention.  After things settle down with the new contract, I will be [...]

As I have done with all of the other ship models I have built [...]

Last weekend I decided to go ahead and implement one of the lesser used features of the original game... the ship's log.  In the original CGA and EGA version, the ship's log was nothing more than a simple text editor that the player could use to put in notes.  That's it.  Here [...]

It all started when I decided to revisit my noise generator.  I was never 100% satisfied with the one I created because there were some artifacts like the mountains would favor a diagonal orientation.  So, I completely re-wrote the noise generator and now [...]

Twenty-Two Elements.  And yes, they are basically rocks. This week, I've hunted for various rock and stone 3D models on the good old 'net.  After finding a bunch, I customized each one in an attempt to make them look like the 22 elements in the game [...]
