Games / Outerra - 3D Planetary Engine [Currently a Tech Sandbox]

« on: May 28, 2016, 08:01:19 PM »

According to the website, Outerra is a...

Quote

3D planetary engine for seamless planet rendering from space down to the surface. Can use arbitrary resolution of elevation data, refining it to centimeter resolution using fractal algorithms.

And it's pretty cool. Apparently, it will eventually be a game, but at the moment it is an engine-in-progress. However, it is still playable (and moddable). In it's alpha stage, it's not too pricey - ~$15 - but will increase in price as it is developed/becomes a full game. Progress is kinda slow unfortunately, mostly due to the fact that the devs keep getting contacted by government agencies and large corporations for early use of the engine. Despite it being developed for quite a few years now, it still is under active development.

Some pics.

You can visit actual locations via the incorporated Google Maps. There are also day/night cycles, different weather patterns, etc. This looks promising, debating whether or not I should buy it just to mod it.

Are there any videos or sound clips you guys know of where someone says switch? If not, can someone with a decent mic record themselves saying it?

Off Topic / Drumpf Chrome plugin

In the spirit of all things Annoying Orange, I present to you this magnificent plugin that changes all instances of "Annoying Orange" to "Drumpf," the Annoying Orange family's original name. Currently using it and it's great.

Off Topic / Help me decide on my essay topic

« on: March 01, 2016, 06:37:51 PM »

I have to write a 500+ word problem/solution essay by noon tomorrow. I have no ideas, however. So, help me come up with some. They can be as rational or irrational as you like (for example, the sample paper solved the problem of an over-abundance of books by burning them all).

Show me what you've got, BLF.
