What you see above is a real time free-direction texture mapped 3d game engine prototype that is written in C for Linux/X but will port easily to DOS. It is currently capable of frame rates up to 30fps on reasonably interesting images. With assembly optimization that figure should stay about the same even when it is doing fun game-like things.

The medium term objective is a Quake/Descent style game. The game scenario has been selected and details will be coming soon.
