Yes - SDL. The awkward bit was figuring out how to produce the 3D hashing
function, but then I realised that I could use a spline function for array
lookup; just put the array values at integer points along the spline and
voila!

Render time was 22min on a 1GHz Athlon at 800x600, about 90% of the time
spent on the top half ... so it's not really that useable in real scenes.

Mike.
