Crystal Space is looking for engine/OpenGL programmers to work on their new Shader-savvy renderer
May 06, 2004
Crystal Space is an Open Source 3D engine that runs on Linux, Windows, and MacOS/X. The new in-development renders supports OpenGL 1.5 features like shaders (CG, vertex and fragment shaders), stencil shadows, etc. The renderer design is working and most important things are done. However, there are still a lot of missing features and there is a lot of testing, performance tweaking, and bug hunting that needs to be done.

GUN-TACTYX OpenGL-based Programming Game adds support for OpenGL 1.5
May 06, 2004
GUN-TACTYX is a more advanced version of a programming game called CROBOTS. Players must program the AI algorithms of their own team of bots and follow the fights against other warriors in a 3D arena. The engine (source code available) is based on the OpenGL APIand renders QUAKE3-style graphics to improve the realism of the battle field and involve more the players. This release extends the simulator with support of Soccer-like matches and adds grenades to the usual Fight mode. It also includes support for ARB extensions texture_env_combine, texture_cube_map, vertex_buffer_object and vertex_program. The extensions are used for simple pex-pixel lighting and for models animation. However the game does not require any extension to work properly, but the use of the latest OpenGL 1.5 drivers and a GeForce1 or Radeon graphics card class are recommended.
