We have to do a semester project for our ComputerGrafics course, so Robert and I chose to generate a Terrain using a height-map. Our goal for this project is being able to drive on that terrain with a Vehicle using the W S A D keys. Furthermore we decided to use the XNA Framework for C# to accomplish it.
The Code will be released on this blog as soon as we finish the project. Explenations will be included too, so stay tuned 
Must-Have Features
- Generating a terrain to drive on from a gray scale image
- Basic collision detection so that our vehicle drives along the surface of the terrain
Nice-to-Have Features
- Textures on the terrain with more details near the camera (as seen on the screenshot above)
- Advanced collision detection, so that the vehicle can tilt over edges
- Basic physics, so that the vehicle smoothly tilts over edges
We have too much time Features
- Advanced Physics, so that our vehicle can leave the ground (jump)
- Trees
