The Dakar 2011 is a 3D game developed in C++ with Dev-C++ and Visual C++ 2010 Express (since December 2010). I have used several engines to make the program better:

• Irrlicht 1.8 (SVN) graphical engine
• Newton 2.09 physical engine
• irrKlang 1.3.0 sound engine
• OpenAL 1.1 with OpenAL-soft and ALUT

For the textures i have used the Gimp 2.6 program.
For manipulating the 3D models i have used MilkShape 3D 1.8.4 program.
For editing sounds i have used Audacity 1.2.6 program
For programming "high level effects" i used nVidia Cg 3.0 shaders.
I got height datas of the map with Google Earth cooperate with Ambiotek.
I have also used: Biturn, Blender
I downloaded some textures from www.cgtextures.com.

I want to thank all of them their great products helped me!
