Is CUDA a strict requirement? #9

Does this mean I'm left out if I have an AMD card? Can it fallback to OpenCL/CPU?

chrxh commented 3 years ago

Since only the CUDA api is currently used, unfortunately yes. To overcome this problem, a platform-independent frontend is being developed at github.com/chrxh/alien-world-explorer. A deployed version can be accessed here for testing purposes (but still missing most features).

Great, thank you! This project is really interesting. I'll keep an eye on it.
