Title: aa2map 0.7.9 released
Post by: jackthompson on November 29, 2008, 12:17:00 PM
aa2map (ASCII art 2 map) is a procedural map generator that parses ASCII Art and heightmaps into a Quake III: Arena (id Tech 3) map file

Everyone who can operate a keyboard will be able to create custom maps for id Tech 3 based games with this

I have checked out your stuff and tried it. Well, what can I say? Playing the example map was a unique experience (sapienti sat). The whole project is so weird and pointless that it is absolutely wonderful! I mean it. I love crazy ideas and those people who actually take the effort and make them work.

BTW, I peeked at your C code. You seem to be quite good at programming. I am sure any of the Q3 engine coding projects would welcome you if you decided to take part. Have you considered this option?
