Yesterday, I coded my maze generator hack all over. Well, actually, I just ported the C program of mine to use C++ and to use the basic facilities of the language (C version of the maze generator was so stand-alone that I complied it with cc65 to produce a working C64 binary in no time!)...

(Yeah, I haven't used C++ much, but now I first time noticed that templates do have a bit awkward syntax. Anyway, I can tolerate that - vector<vector<char> > is almost a tolerable way of making a multi-dimensional character array, compared to C way with the dreaded malloc() and some calculations... =)

It now uses OpenGL to do the display stuff, and it's going to be a fully three-dimensional maze exploration program!

The only problems I've had so far:

• "Hedge" geneator should churn out cubes. It creates a huge bunch of triangles instead. Weird, that.
• Yeah, the user-perspective view doesn't work at all =( either I get a blank view, or interesting "viewpoint" to the location I'm looking at. Looks like I still need to learn more of the viewing/modelview transformations.

I have read the whole red book, but that won't help me much, I guess - I haven't actually written too much OpenGL code. Plus, I suck at math. =( I think I am able to survive this, one day - I'm doing this mostly just to prove that I'm able to do insane things. In C++. With OpenGL. In Glorious 3D. =)

Maybe I should focus my stuff on stuff that actually does something worthwhile... =/
