Info
Possible Worlds is a Hardware-accelerated
3D-Underwater action game in the style of Subwar 2050 or Wing Commander,
programmed in C++ using OpenGL 1.2.
We were inspired to write
a game by the Computergraphics lab exercise offered by the Technical University
of Vienna, which requires students to create their own full-blown 3D-game
using OpenGL. No limits, no rules whatsoever! Thanks for this to finally
happen :)

History:
NO version history here,
we're making progress too fast for that anyway...
This website launched on
21-03-2001 by Eikzilla
Project start: 05-03-2001
We´d written a TGA
texture Loader and a 3D-Studio object converter and loader the 3 days or
so before and had our first object drawn on screen on the very day we started
the project.. since then the game has evolved quite a lot and we will keep
developing until the end of June. and probably longer...
we hope you like our work
