sh3-rg Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Here is it. I didn't implement rotation, I'm lazy.There are a few ugly sprites in there. Will you find them? Hope this is the early days of a rail-shooter - could be quite fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrTypo Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Good demo! I see you also went for 160 "fat" pixels horizontally like Phase Zero. My first few versions were rendering 320 pixels across and the frame rate wasn't very good. As soon as I looked at a screenshot of Phase Zero (taken from the emulator) and saw that it was using fat pixels I changed my algorithm and tables to match. Indeed, I don't think many 1993 machines could render a 320 pixels wide voxel smoothly. Maybe a fast 486. Another way to speed things up is to reduce the number of slices. The filtering partially hides that. The problem is that you get ugly "jumping" artifacts... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felyx Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I will call the NASA: Dr Typo found some water on Mars One another cool voxel martian trip: thanks Dr Typo Now I hope the next step is Groovybee get married with Dr Typo so we can eventually expect a birth of a new game Edited August 22, 2012 by Felyx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felyx Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Please do! Its always interesting to see how other programmers solve the same kind of problems. Here is it. I didn't implement rotation, I'm lazy. There are a few ugly sprites in there. Will you find them? Rotation would be cool i found only one sprite: what's up Doc?
