Fortran flight-sim

Inspiration

We started in C#, it was a pain so we decided to switch to a more fun language, like Fortran.

What it does

• Renders terrain
• Renders UI giving you all the stats
• Renders game overs on hitting the ground

How we built it

• The rendering uses a realtime voxel engine with overlays for the UI, rendered with ttf.

Challenges we ran into

• Installing Fortran SDL
• Installing ancient libraries

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• We actually managed to build a basic flight sim in Fortran in a day
• I managed to brick Ubuntu so badly I can't even delete it

What's next for Fortran flight-sim

I might improve the UI in future, maybe the physics. If it was a serious project, I would split up the code as it's currently just over 700 lines in 1 file.
