| Explanations of some 3d math concepts - I remember not getting the 3d rotations working correctly when I first started programming, but I'm not sure if that's my fault or the fault of the doc. Most of the docs are some simple linear algebra. They spell out the equations in the end for those who can't completely understand them.

| The sources for the temple vector part of Amnesia - Sparce comments. Tight code, but probably only understandable by those who have written atleast a simple vector system and familiar with pmode. Certainly good code, but I question its usefulness to those who read it.

| Beautiful hightfield rendering. If there's anyone with half a clue who can't understand this, I'd like to know. The effect itself is beautiful, fast, and the code is gratuitously commented. My only quip is having (gipped) allocation of some 180k that just eats up base memory. Has no .exe, but compiles with watcom with no problems.

| Rating:
| Reads a 3ds file and outputs an easier to read format. Good utility with full source for reading .3DS files. It's easily tweakable (with a #define) to read from a file or memory and not that difficult to tweak for your own 3d structures. It's also done well enough that adding support for more features of the .3ds format should not be that difficult from a coding standpoint. Specs are admittedly hard to find.

| A freeware assembler with good support. People have been switching from TASM to this assembler, especially linux and 68K coders. It is still being supported by the makers so it understands newer op codes, like mmx instructions, so you don't need to get intel's 'macros' for new opcodes.

| Library for using DirectDraw for making demo effects. Use Winzip to decompress archive because of the long file names. If using DirectX 5, you have to change two lines in DirectXConversion.cpp to type cast to (DirectDrawSurface2 *). When you try to compile, you'll know which lines those are. Hmm... maybe wince stands for Win-CuteElf. (If you see this, are you going back there?)
