And if you do, have you played on Parallax Online? There's a Freespace Frenzy going on today, and (...) (23 years ago, 16-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) If you don't mind C code, there's the zAddTriangle() function in stub.c in the ldlite or ldglite source code. The old 1.6 ldlite source is a bit easier to follow since it doesn't have all the extra shaders. Also, it's a linear z-buffer, which (...)
