  1. what an amazing coinkidink by Froze · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Iwas just talking to a friend about getting into some game programming under linux. I have been working with linux for years, but alway at a sysadmin or number crunching (molecular dynamics, etc) level. The fact that I always sent my data into something like povray and then rendered into animations seemed somewhat clunky.

    Perhaps this will be my chance to make doing graphics directly a workable idea. Thanks to whoever posted this story and thanks to the author for making this free on the web. If it turns out to be the reference I hope it will be, they have just netted themselves another sale!
