Organization: Date: Tue, 11 Nov 1997 00:45:52 +0200 (EET) From: KOMODakis Nikolaos To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Cc: KOMODakis Nikolaos Subject: ANNOUNCE: CLIFF Version 1.0 source code available Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Precedence: bulk I am releasing the source code for the CLIFF demo. The code can be downloaded from the CLIFF homepage. The package contains the source code for version 1.0 of the CLIFF engine as well as the source code for the CONVQBSP program. This is the first official version of the CLIFF engine. CLIFF is a real time 3D-engine that i developed in my free time. It can also be used as a Quake Viewer. For more info check the CLIFF homepage at: http://www.csi.forth.gr/~komod/cliff.html The main reason for releasing the code is to help people learn from it. I do not claim the code is perfect. Actually, if i rewrote the code now, I would have implemented many things in a completely different and far more efficient way. This means that a large part of the version 1.0 code can afford a lot of improvement. However, do not forget that CLIFF is just a spare-time project and that my main motivation for creating CLIFF was simply the fact that i love 3D programming and wanted to learn more about this wonderful subject.

You are free to use any part of the CLIFF source code as long as you do not make a profit out of it. This means that you can enjoy the package freely , pass it onto you friends (you are encouraged to do that) and learn from it. However, the CLIFF project has been developed in my spare time so it's only fair for me to ask that all programs that use any part of the CLIFF source code must include full credit for its use together with information on how to get the CLIFF package. Also, i would enjoy receiving any program that was created using the CLIFF package. The CLIFF source code can not be used for any commercial purposes without authorization from the author. If you wish to use the CLIFF package for commercial software then please contact me so that we can work out an aggreement.
