3D Grid Engine: is it possible?

[InfernoLimited]

How hard would it be to make a moving around fps that runs off of a grid?

It sounds easy, but I don't know if it's possible with this tool.

3D isn't very possible in SC but I hear Warhampster was working on a 3D voxel engine for SC that could do what you need.

Or do you mean like the 3D grid nav Silver made a while back?

[Gan]

Silver made a 3D nav engine? I'm sure it was strictly 2 dimensional.

I want to make something like this.

That game's fun!

Cool game, not really possible in Sc.

[InfernoLimited]

Darn. :\\

3D is technically possible (see my terrain renderer), but is really more trouble than it's worth. If you want to just jump into making a raycaster I'm sure you can find tons of tutorials for more standard languages.

Is Sc fast enough to render 20-30 fps?

[WarHampster]

Would totally depend on the code. My engine doesn't even refresh the screen on a loop, so I don't know how fast it is.

Well, I never found any tutorials on making that sort of game, sadly. I've been working a little bit with Java lately and it seems simple enough.

i remember silver did something like this a while back and i ported to sc in 100 lines. it can be done in a simple dungeon crawler format, but not as complex as the java game. heres the demo

its still in its infancy and would be fun to add enemies. it basically runs off of v6 gridnav and checks the grid code in the field of vision to identify what sprites to use on screen

Yeah, I said that already.
