OpenGL game programming:
Drive a raytraced rocketcar in a scaleable window.

Requirements:
-------------
Some people complained about missing librarys.
Expilicit: You NEED to install StormMesa to run the executable.
For compiling you need the linker librarys.

Download StormMesa from:

http://www.haage-partner.com/3dworld/index-e.htm

To run the executable, you need the user archive.
If you want to compile your own sources, you will need the developer
archive.

Install the packages according to their manuals.

Make sure to link the linker librarys to your executable while compiling.

GCC example: gcc demosource.c -o demo -lGL

Where "demosource.c" is the source code of your OpenGL program and "demo"
is the executable.

You can find StormMesa and many demos on the AmigaOS 3.5 CD-Rom.

To obtain hardware-acceleration, you will need a GFX-card with 3D-Chip
(for example CyberVision 64/3D, CyberVisionPPC, Voodoo, etc.) AND
a Warp3D driver for your 3D-hardware.
OpenGL programs will run without 3D-hardware anyway, but slower.


Usage:
------
Use cursor keys or Joystick to drive.
If you drive outside the window you can reset to starting position
via pulldown-menu or by pressing 'r'.
Press '+' and '-' for zoom.

Features:
---------
- Hardware acceleration where available
- Joystick support via GLUT
- Uses a raytraced texture as "fake sprite"
- Linear filter option for smooth texture
- Scaleable window
- System friendly as possible
- It`s fast, even on my good old A4000/030 with CV64/3D

History:
--------

Version 1.0 (26.3.2002)

 - initial release


Version 1.1 (29.3.2002)

 - added AmigaOS requesters
 - added zooming


Version 1.2 (7.4.2002)

 - added Joystick support
 - no more unlimited acceleration


Known problems:
---------------
Makes traces and flickers in fullscreen-mode (maybe a bug in CGX?)

Remember:
---------
The S3 Virge can only perform hardware acceleration within 15 Bit screenmodes.


The executable included in this archive require 68030 cpu and 68881 fpu or better.
A 68060 or PowerPC CPU and a fast 3D-accelerator is highly recommended.

Testet on Amiga 4000/30 with CyberVision64/3D,
AmigaOS 3.5, CyberGraphX 3, Warp3D 3.
