Remembered a fun little “hello world” program I made in 2018:

https://movq.de/v/a1c4a819e6/vid.mp4

(It runs smoothly. My computer just isn’t fast enough for a smooth X11 screengrab at that resolution.)

@movq Wow, that's sick! Assuming the rendering is correct, I never realized the mountain ranges being this steep and tall. This has real education potential for geography classes. Really cool!
I guess this is trivial to do with some pre-existing engine, but it’s more fun to do it yourself: https://movq.de/v/0cfa4e9504/world.tar.gz

@lyse Oh, no, this is vastly exaggerated. Neil deGrass Tyson says, the earth is smoother than a cue ball (billiard): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMP5dNsZ-6k That would make for a very dull OpenGL program, though. 😂

@movq Oh, I see. I reckon I accidentally late April-fooled myself. :-D

It's an interesting comparison. I really should have thought about that.

You're right, the rendering would not be very spectacular. :-)
