Geodesic Publications
This company was formed to explore innovative ideas in the
field of geodesic theory, software, space, and architecture.
Triclops Invasion represents one of the first of a new
class of computer games, 3D space games. Objects in the game,
planets, cities, ships, satellites are true 3D polygonal
models. They are cast in completely generalized perspective
views. This is a real 3D game, on a real spherical 3D planet,
The only thing that's not truely three dimensional, is that
it is all inside the computer and not sitting on your table !
Contained in this game is a geometric structure compiler.
It can can convert a simple structure into a more complex
structure. The manner in which this is done is called the
geometric breakdown. For an example, the fractal planet in
this game was created from the icosahedron ( solid of twenty
triangles ), so the original number of points to store the
planet amounted to only twenty ! Those same twenty points are
also used to create some of the geodesic satellites. The
planet and satellites are the only times the ver. 1.6 game
uses the geometric compiler, version 2.0 will actually allow
the user to operate the compiler. Also within this game is
generalize surface fractalization. The planet is a sphere
with five fractal levels, at fractal level 5, the planet is
comprised of greater than 100,000 small triangles. Matching
the peudo-random seeds across all boundaries insure that the
triangles fit together perfectly. Chain matrix math is used
for the robotic motion.
Our main interest is the Amiga computer, we also sell an
IBM AT version of our game. We think that the 68000 / 20
architecture is the best for the future and look forward to
coupled VLSI solutions.
Those who purchase our game will receive information on
source code tool kits in 68000 assembly and C in the areas of
graphics, fractals, and geodesics.
We are open to consulting on any computer. We develop
general structural, topographical systems, adaptable to real
life landscapes.
