RE: [Algorithms] ROAM

[Andrew G. <And...@ho...>]

I found an article on Gamasutra a great help when I was first writing my own
implementation a while back;

http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20000403/turner_pfv.htm

It contains a pretty straightforward explanation and sample code. Step
through the code and draw what it's doing to the landscape and patches on
paper, you'll pick it up pretty quickly.
