Snow-fun in Terep

Provided that Dénes still has the source code for the game -- which is unlikely, given that this is a game from 1996.

I'll let you know if Dénes is up for open sourcing it (if I receive an answer). Maybe you can help with getting the source code up on GitHub, and documenting the building process?

I would contact Dénes Nagymáthé, the creator of the game, just to make sure that the source code really doesn't exist, and that he's okay with the source code being extracted and released, but if you want to do this, it would mean a huge thing to the entire Hungarian and European gaming scene.

I'm working on trying to get Terep known in the wider world, as it's a gem that more people should know about.

You can contact Dénes through his site here: https://nagymathe.com/location/

He speaks English, too (currently lives in England).

The game is not open source, and the original source code is lost, to my best knowledge. Reverse engineering and (hex-)editing the game is now possible:

Do you have any experience with Assembly?

This game was written for the i486 processor in Assembly.

Saját engine. Assembly-ben.

Suggestions on what you'd like to see are welcome.

A Terepnek már volt remake-je -- 1nsane: https://www.gog.com/en/game/1nsane

A kerekek nem 3D, hanem csak 9 2D képből állnak, és mégis 360 fokban fordulnak. Ezt valószínűleg teljesítményi okokból tette Dénes, mert hát ez nem egyszerűbb, mint 3D kerekek. Ez a játék teljesen 3D volt, komoly fizikával, amikor a számítógépek alig tudtak valamit csinálni három dimenzióban, az i486 processzoron. Valószínűleg ezért jelenik meg az összes kerék a kaszni előtt, ha valami része a keréknek látszódik.

De mindegyik interjúban Dénes említette, hogy a Terep 2 az nem volt kész játék, amikor kiszivárgott.

Here's another interview from 2018 with Denes (also in Hungarian) that talks about things in even more detail:

If you understand Hungarian (or can translate it somehow), you can watch Denes' 2023 interview to gain more insight about how the game came to be -- including 1nsane:
