Show HN: Water-Simulation with Real-Time Reflections and Perlin-Noise Terrain

> Do a DirectX implementation (having DirectX on your resume helps a lot)

You post this as a reaction to someone doing a Show HN on a Linux-based OpenGL project. This is the equivalent of someone showing off their Python project and you respond by suggesting they redo it in Ruby because otherwise they might have trouble getting hired.

to answer a few of the suggestions:

* There is in fact nothing really new about it. I know it exists and It was mainly me being interested in that topic. And I don't know, if I am ready to actually invent or think of something really new :)

* Right now, there is no time left to look to DirectX. I might go for it later but for the moment I feel more like doing stuff that looks cool/good or has interesting mathematical background than going for other system/DirectX.

* Yes, good point. I will have a look at lighting the next weeks!

* OK, removing typos is probably the first step ;) I'm on it!

* Also good point. Will do that!

* The reflection is technically correct, but I kinda cheat a little by lowering the reflection-vector to get a little more reflection out of the scene. It hides a bit, by reflecting also part of the scene which is normally cut off.

Thanks for the suggestions and critic :)

As of right now, I only comment in english as it should be done. But you're getting used to it, when everyone around you writes in german and you are supposed to do so too...

So basically a 2 dimensional array with height-values in it. That then displayed as the water's surface.
