Okay... here''s an odd one for you! 
...anybody feel like giving us a nice landscape demo with source in Delphi and DX8 that demonstrates all the latest and greatest things that are possible.
Oh... yea... add some clear comments and document everything that needs to be documented.
And make sure it supports all manner of eye-candy and glamour.
And make sure it performs like a bat-outa-hell. (10000 bump-mapped, lighted, multi-textured, LODed, environment-mapped triangles for the landscape [with water (reflections) and volumetrically clouded sky] running at... uhm... 800x600 32bit 60 frames a second on say a Pentium 2 with some lackluster, standard 3D hardware.)
Oh...
- and make sure that the code is simple, short, elagant and very readable.
Any takers?
*GrinZ* - you know... I wish somebody would. I bluddy-well wanna learn how to do this >right<.
thanks

PS - adding weather, water-simulations (river) and the like are optional.
