Feature 5 Post Mortem

I had some trouble at first getting feature 5 to work. Getting the WASD movement keys to work was as simple as setting the keys to different values from keys.h, as shown below. It also shows where I set the elevation of the camera equal to the terrain height.   I also just used the […]

Feature 2 Post Mortem

Overall implementing the terrain generation and height map was not overly difficult. The first problem I came across was editing the ruby file we created in the tutorial, in order to orient the terrain in the same aspect as the camera.
