It's certainly older than 2002. I remember reading it in the "Pixelate" online magazine way back, and sure enough, I was able to find it here https://web.archiv

- tofof 9y agoUpdate: August 2001. The follow-on article [0] references this article as appearing in "issue 5" of Pixelate, so it seems you found the original source. Issue 4 [1] covered June 2001, probably published in July, and so it seems that issue 5 was probably published in August 2001. 0: http://www.helixsoft.nl/articles/sphere/sphere.html http://www.helixsoft.nl/articles/sphere/sphere.html 1: https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Pixelate:Issue_4/Bits_%26_Bytes https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Pixelate:Issue_4/Bit... Original reply: And from the presence (even in that 2002 version) of the 'allegro.cc' domain, we can narrow the range of dates from the other end, too: The .cc domain was introduced in October 1997, and Allegro.cc claims visitors since January 1999.
- realharo 9y agoI guess if you try emailing the author, he may still remember the original year.
- amarillion 9y agoThe article was specifically written for Pixelate (issue 5), so it was around that time. I only started hosting the articles myself after Pixelate became defunct.
