The Confessions

I soon abandoned this, but not before creating a simplified model of the Andrea spaceship (see Andrea 1 on New Stuff ). I didn't have Maya or Cinema 4D back then. The vertices of the dish at the rear of the ship I generated with JavaScript. The vertices for the rest of the ship were worked out using a pen and a ruler on graph paper.

But because it had only just come out, all the books about game programming for Windows were in Win32.

The other idea was for a planet where the genders had separated and gone to war against each other. That is, a nation of women was at war with a nation of men. This was a high-tech (future technology) planet. I had the idea of making these two dif...
