Now a new modeler creates cities dynamicaly in jdr3d. The city to build is described in a definition file and the effective build is devoted to a new module : univers. city1.def is an exemple of a such definition file.

The new release of jdr3d is ready. This new version use SDL library to grphic output and keyboard input and it dispose of a new grpahic library with a new fast 3D renderer.

Two doc are added to the project in the chapter development, about video library :

video internal describe the working of the video library

The old openGL renderer is replaced by a new 3D renderer. This renderer is based on raycasting algorythm, with fix decimal point calculation, and SDL library for screen output.
This feature is the last added before 0.19 release.

Now, if the library SDL version 1.1.8 minimum is correctly installed, jdr3d compile without error.
