This is a demonstration of a program I wrote to generate and fly through a dynamically generated city. You can read the step-by-step of how it was made at my website:

http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentyside...

* The program was built on vanilla OpenGL, Windows, using MS DevStudio 6.0
* Building the city takes about 5 seconds.
* Took about 50 hours of coding time.
* Runs on older hardware. The goal was to have the program work on Windows machines less than 5 years old.
* To be released as a Windows screensaver.

    Why not? It said there's only 43,000 polys. Shouldn't that be manageable in realtime?

    Man. this is awesome! Can you give tips on how to start programming for things like this? I am learning scripting unity but i want to be able to program things like this without a existing game-engine, to create my own application, like what you have made in this video!

    Amazing, had watched this video 8 months ago, spent 30 minutes going through bookmarks to try and find it again. Glad I did. So very inspiring.
