State of panic

"Houston, we have a problem."
"Ab kya hua, #$@@?#&$%?"
"Negative. Just testing."
"Copy that. Kya bak hai ?!"
"Actually there is a problem. Terrain generator is not completed, and basic bot needs to be designed by end of month...and the thing is...well, phati padi hai :'("
"d0rKboT (Unidentified Automated Land Rover), you do realize that you gotta be...errr...rendered impotent soon? Besides, smileys on radio transcripts are taboo!"
"Copy and roger that. Request emergency ass-saving procedure"
"d0rKboT...?"
"Houston, I'm listening..."
"Go fuck yourself!!"
"Roger that. Self-coitus sequence initiated. Erectile dysfunction error reported...Houston, we have a problem"

To be continued...

DEMz

As planned in the presentation (Feb 04), I'd like to try and read DEM data (mostly from USGS) for agent testing. Some of it is available@ GIS Data Depot & ADTI-US or even 3DEM's home. The
VTerrains DEM page seems a decent starting point for learning about DEMs. There's also the USGS guide

USGS Geographic Data download

Week Target: complete Terrain gen for midpt displ n some basic noise algo. mayb begin 1st agent design :)
