Landscape in 3D?

[James ah ha]

Hi All

A little 'proof of concept' game.  I have a map which the player makes their way through - but what they see is a (simply) 3D rendered version of the map's landscape.  You can alter the map easily and as the code is built to be extendible then other landscape features building etc could be added [and specifics coded].  There are still issues with some of the rendering (but it's not bad), and what happens to the view at edges but it is playable.  The code is OK - there may be some economies I could make.

Play at http://www.puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=a8b57c85b7d611a35cf5

If you want to see how the mechanisms work then play the following http://www.puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=7c09a8b01427983c3a46 plus see in code comments (I might have to explain a few bits that I have not made clear)

What do you think ???

Playing the normal version, I could not work out what was going on.  However, with the little map to show how it works, I can see what you're trying to accomplish.

Rendering definitely needs work, particularly where mountains overlap and hills are seen in the distance.

A higher key_repeat_interval would be appreciated, say 0.5.  (See Prelude.)

Maybe the edge of the map should be drawn as a chasm?

I was also confused by being able to walk through mountains.  They look large enough to be walls.

What you have there is an amazing effort!  I hope to see this polished.

An update - most issues from first version now sorted.  Now you turn 45 degrees at a time (with compass points) which helps with orientation.

what do you think ?

If you want to see how it operates then play

Any thoughts on the adventure elements would be welcome.

Sooooo much better!  Awesome work!  :-D

so, this is pretty grotesque, but also impressive. Still very occasional graphical glitches

but overall, especially with the 40º rotation, it's pretty nice to navigate around now.

I'm frequently impressed by PuzzleScripters' works, and here's another amazing piece! 3D in PS, wow!

Hi  Glad you like it (mostly), as I said it's a proof of concept, any ideas on making a 'game' using the concept ?

  It is easy to add landscape features, and to make the maps.
