Hi there,

this is a call for artists. We need a set of (default) textures for the 
terrain. The following textures will be needed (SVG format is desired of 
course):
* water
* grass
* some more rocky ground for elevated locations
* sand bunker
To allow for greater flexibility for level designers, it would be nice if 
different variants for these use cases could be provided (e.g. darker grass or 
moss instead of green grass).

To test your textures, you'll need a current checkout of 
playground/games/kolf-ng.
1. Put pre-rendered versions of your textures into the courses/ subdirectory 
in your checkout, overwriting the default-*.jpg textures.
2. `make install` to get the textures into the installation locations.
3. Launch kolf-ng, and open the course "Terrain test" for editing.
4. Go to the second tab. (The first tab shows some example texture we used 
when we could not yet generate our own textures.)
5. The textures are bound to different height ranges. These ranges can be 
adjusted in the list at the left. Doubleclick to edit, enter new values for 
minimum, median and maximum, and press OK. (The median is the height value 
where the texture will be replicated 1:1 on the final texture. Above or below 
the median, it will be shaded to show the different heights.) You'll have to 
press the "Start blending" toolbutton to regenerate the texture.
6. Saving does, at least to my knowledge, not work at the moment.

Write back to Zeng (see CC, he's the author of the texture blending and 
heightmap editing code) or me (I've written most of the rest of Kolf 2) if 
you've got problems or questions. We are esp. looking forward to helping you 
with integrating new textures into the program.

Greetings
Stefan
