The 3D Engine (Re: Doom.Bas - a legend etc etc)
Peter Cooper
People,
About a month ago I posted a pretty rough 3d raycasting engine
up here which some people played about with a bit, well since then I
have been thinking over, designing and working a new 3d engine system,
how do these specs sound so far:
- non-othogonal walls (ie.. walls dont have to be right angled)
this means that walls have to be specified as vectors like as
in the doom levels with sectors etc
- 256 color walls etc (with shading..)
- texture mapping (?!?!?!?)
Ok ok, first betas will probably just have the first bit for now. But I
have the last two under tab. :)
I now have to go and finish off redesigning the engine (something I have
done about 3 times) and then I can recode all over again. It doesnt take
too long.. off I go. :) Hey.. I'll leave this open as I do mywork and I
can keep adding to this so you get to see my log.
11:45 - go to get my rough book and something to drink and nibble on
12:00 - food eaten, brain still empty
12:15 - sod it for tonight, work on it when I wake up maybe, not awake
enough now
=)
Cheers,

Maybe we should dub you "son of Carmack"??? ;)

Indeed, if John Carmack was set in front of a computer with nothing but
a copy of QBASIC and told to write a DOOM clone, could he do it? I
wonder....

Snow from yesterday (for me) ... ;^))))
PS: I think a new demo is available in the next days on my homepage.

Probably not, they are C and ASM people :) not even C++. I am doing
this project for my own personal enjoyment and also experience. I enjoy
sitting and trying to work out the algorithms, they take so long to find
on the net! I've tried!! I didnt find anything that was brilliantly
useful. Besides the job in hand isn't _that_ hard, it's just maths and
the maths _is_ the harder bit. :)
