Hi,

Does anyone know how Team 17 are doing the landscape in Worms, and all its
sequels.

I imagine its a large bitmap which they can blow holes in etc and use a
pixel test of some kind to see if there is landscape beneath the worms feet
(stomachs).

The only thing is some of the landscapes are huge, I wouldn't have thought
it practical or possible to hold it all in memory at once.

And the Landscape generation works really well... anyway that has nothing to
do with my project but I just got the Playstation version and started to
think... Can't enjoy games anymore always thinking how they were created :)

Nigel
