Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving

Posted by timothy on from the this-looks-fun dept.

An anonymous reader points out a project called Drivey, which he describes as "a dark and fascinating example of 2.xD [not quite 3d] graphical rendering. This tiny, free [as in beer] demo gives you an amazingly compelling driving experience. To quote the author, 'It was conceived as a driving simulator for old farts like myself, who are kind of nostalgic for the "old days" [ca. 1985] but are not so thick as to believe that the games from the 80s were actually in any way superior to the games we play today.' Even works fine under WINE!"

    This is supposed to be the last software professionally written by Bill Gates.

    Even though probably no one much ever played this primitive bit of DOS/BASIC demo software [purportedly the last piece of professional software ever written by Bill Gates!]

    Good to see he ended on such a high note.

    Ensuring that it's at least 25% flatter than your everyday, ordinary flat wall...

    Now take this project and combine it with Google Maps and it could be very interesting...

    Congratulations, you've just invented the new "imagine a beowulf cluster of ..."
