It's not all bizznizz apps

Every day I check the image of the day over at flipcode.com, which is the place for Joe Geek and Family to show off their sunday-afternoon graphics software. It's amazing what people come up with from time to time, and today, a programmer from Belgium send in his 3D-terrain renderer/generator using OpenGL and C#. It's a great way showing off what you can do with C# and .NET besides the always charming n-tier / remoting / webserices / webapplication-oriented software. It utilizes the great work of the csgl guys who, as you all know, wrote a library for C# to work with OpenGL. As a former OpenGL junkie myself, I always get a "those were the days" feeling, while reading about graphics software. ;)

  • Just a little FYI, CsGL is not just for c#. One of the reason the new library's called something different is this reason. The new library being worked on is CLS-compliant as well as cross-runtime/platform. We've got some cool stuff coming down the pike. As always, as listed on my (sad) page, which is hosting the new library, I could really use some non-Windows testers.
