Those look like pictures of SilverCreator crashing or something.

Well the maps are 50 by 50 pixels (I enlarge them when I draw them on the screen), and the algorithm I'm using can't draw a frame larger than the size of the map. I could easily just enlarge the image after it has been rendered but before updating the screen, but that would make things even slower.

Looks good, but why use SC for this?  If you have the knowledge to create a 3D engine, why not do it in a "real" language?  It seems like this is too slow to make any use out of it.   ;)

To push SC to its limits - cheesy, I know :P

Hopefully Mike and I will be able to get it running more smoothly, then this will actually be useful for games.

I just ran my engine through the new SC and it's much faster... I think that this, combined with a few optimizations that I have in mind, will get this to a playable state!

So expect news pretty soon after I'm back from vacation (a week from now). Crappy timing I know, but I'm on spring break and am going scuba-diving in Bonaire.

Whoa. 2 major Sc versions in one day and a revolutionary 3D engine?
Is it Christmas?
I too am going on vacation but I'll see if I can bring my mac along.

Im underwhelmed.

Why push SC when you can actually make something worthwhile with a more powerful language.
