"The Colony" on Github!

I finally did it. The Colony was the first realtime 3D adventure/shooter - 1987. I posted the entire source code for Mac, PC and Amiga on Github.

Demonstration of a hillside world where even the grass is synchronized with the wind on every users machines. We then generate thousands of NPCs (non-player characters) with simple AIs that also act and react perfectly replicated with the world. Up to 5000 NPCs can be generated in this scene with minimal overhead.
