Hi David,
I'm working on it in a limited way, but I've got problems with my surface normals not being normal, which is annoying, since it should be quite straightforward. At the moment it's more like a helicopter sim, since you can hang in mid-air! Essentially, there's no physics model, but you can fly around my fractal landscapes. I'll post it as an idea once I've got the normals normal. I'm sure your 3d tour was more impressive - is there a link somewhere?
Best wishes,
D

A few points:
- Press 'Q' to exit the demo
- You ride around on the ground for 3 or 4 minutes (this gets a bit tedious, admittedly)
- Then you take off and fly around in the sky for a while
- Eventually you fly among the er... 'stars'
- The music (which may annoy) can't be turned off - sorry!
- I seem to have lost the source code (been trying to hunt it down for Torro)
- It uses a modified version fo Richard's D3DLIB (namely, I translated sections of it to assembly language for improved performance)
- I introduced a bug to D3DLIB, possibly in the assembler code, which I've not been able to track down (and certainly won't be able to now!); it causes the program to sometimes crash on exit, which is why I suggest pressing 'Q' instead to exit (although it might still crash!)
Your fractal landscape idea sounds interesting. Hope you can resolve the normal problem!
David.
