Oooh, that's so pretty! Nice work. Can you shoot the ships?

I have managed to get the 3D tracking routines working for the most part. The screenie below has a tie fighter flying around its target, which then changes, in which case it reorientates and flies to it instead.

This routine is a must for game scenarios as objects can now find their targets in 3D space. It was a bit of a pain to get working lol!

Also here is a camera lookAt test:

Note that the stars are a quick hack and arent relative to the camera and there is no object sorting as yet (there is polygon sorting but its confined to per-object).

Couple more tests.

Very nice, and good to see you're thinking about how to apply the engine to a game and not just the graphics engine.

Wow, that's looking incredible! How many objects do you think you could reasonably handle at once right now? I love the screenshot of the little fighter circling the other two.

Im not really sure how many objects, it would depend on how complex they are. But with level of detail on it could be maybe 15-20? But that would slow down if they were all close to the camera lol

.

I added a background decal (the planet) and an xwing!:

EDIT - Added some basic shooting, only preliminary with no collision detection yet:

Ha ha that is pretty cool Tr1p! I saw this pop up on ticalc and wanted to stop in. Looks like you have added some pretty cool stuff. I really like the 3d tracking. Nice work!

Yes, this is looking quite good, tr1p--can't wait to see more (and to play with it myself)!

Implemented some basic shooting+collision checking:

As it stands, different objects have different firing rates and firing 'sequences'. By firing sequence i mean xwing's shoot from 4 lasers in a pattern where-as something like a tie-fighter will only shoot from 2 lasers alternating ... if that makes sense?

This is incredible Tr1p! Great work!

Haha, it amazes me how this went from a no-roadmap tech demo into this much more full game-type-thing, and I imagine it's soon to be a full-on game! This is great

This thing is so awesome Tr1p. Keep up the great work! :mrgreen:

Wow! This is amazing :shock:

You've really already got a decent game set up. Who would've thought we'd ever be shooting down tie-fighters in 3D on our 83+s?

tr1p1ea · **Posted:** Mon 29 Jul, 2013 4:39 am

After much thought ive decided to port this engine to the 84C, to see if a game is plausable.

For the meantime i have a colour cube rotating:

The cube looks good--and speedy! Do you foresee much more slow down?
