Image Description, by These are some shots from my last little project, called WorldMap 3D. This started just as a simple test of my game system, but I got excited and decided to finish something more usable. The main features are:

> - Correct Earth orbit around the Sun;
> - Based on some orbit predictions, "correct" Moon orbit around the Earth;
> - Real clouds (yes, REAL), updated automatically from satellites;
> - Shows any of 1300+ pre-included locations around the world;
> - Built-in locations manager that can add/modify/remove locations;
> - Shows the approximated time of any location;
> - 6 pre-defined, configurable cameras plus 1 draggable user camera;
> - Sun causes overbrights, glowing and lens flares;
> - Many items are configurable both inside the application itself and an external configurator;
> - Can run as a normal application (windowed or fullscreen) and/or as a screensaver;
> - Runs theoretically under Win98/Me/2K/XP, DirectX 6.1, 3D card required.

I want to thank DooMWiz here because this guy alpha-tested the WorldMap after some insistence from my part in the IRC, heh. =) Hey, Doom, thank you after all!
Peace,
