    @AndrewGarrison me too hahahaha, I tried to make it without searching first but calculating distances passing through the poles was hard, the haversine formula is a gift from god compared with what I was making hahaha

    @pedro16797 Sounds really cool. I had to google the haversine algorithm. :D

    @AndrewGarrison my first approach was chequing for coordinates and altitude and adding a flattener for every pixel, with less density of flatteners the closer to the poles using haversine algorithm

    @AndrewGarrison yup, I love to read stack overflow for hours. I'm working on a program to make real earth with flatteners, but don't ask me why 20k flatteners make the game slow.
    Now I'm making an image processor in java (my first time working with images) to recognize the surface of the Earth with the equirectangular deformation and push the sea downwards with flatteners using the less amount of circles possible.
    Since I'm working with an 20kx10k image I have to optimize the code a lot or it won't finish ever

    @pedro16797 Ouch! I'm sorry to hear that, but you don't need an instructor to specialize. Like John Carmack said: "The situation is so much better for programmers today - a cheap used PC, a linux CD, and an internet account, and you have all the tools necessary to work your way to any level of programming skill you want to shoot for."

    @AndrewGarrison to say the truth I hate both electronics engineering and network engineering, I want to specialise in image and sound processing or signal, both have lot's of maths and physics and it looks like there're better people in those fields.
    In telematic (networking and programming) there's a lot of competition and in electronics (digital and design) there's no single good teacher in my university.

    @pedro16797 That sounds cool. Networking is tough! Some of the hardest stuff I've written was networking related.

    @AndrewGarrison I'm studying telecomunications, we work in C, Java, Algoritmez (almost ARM but less useful), VHL, html... but no CS

    @pedro16797 No worries! Thanks for all of your help! But, please, don't let testing get in the way of your studies! Are you majoring in CS?

    @AndrewGarrison btw, sorry for reporting so many bugs so poorly, today I had an important exam and I was rushing to see if there was bugs with the new smoke particles while reading about network protocols, I'll try to prevent this bug reports, write them in a notebook and post them later.
    Reading most of the reports I did yesterday I'm ashamed of myself

    @AndrewGarrison No, it's not that, the thing is that there's a zone over the launch site that suddenly goes much brown. In the screenshot you can see how the compression makes a hard line because of how fast is the transition, I actually like a lot the sunsets

    It's the sunset color hue that color tints everything. I guess you don't like to too much, lol?
