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. Sincerely Yours, Geodesic Publications Mark S. Adams P.O.Box 7 President Willow Creek, CA. 95573 (916) 629-2514
