Minimal Walking Simulator by gonutz

made by gonutz for LD 40 (UNFINISH)

This is my first 3D "game". It is written in Go.

I always wanted to create a 3D game so this time I decided to dive in and create a little engine with a height map and sky box, two concepts that I knew in theory but had not written myself before.

I use no engine, all the code is written in pure Go, using my wrapper libraries for Direct3D9 and the Windows API.

What I am proud of besides managing to create a little 3D world is that you can build the game in one step (single build.bat script). It creates an executable that runs on all Windows versions from XP up, both 32 and 64 bit. The necessary PNG files are built into the EXE file so there are no dependencies whatsoever. This means that deployment is as easy as downloading and starting the EXE file.

Definitly done a good job, I wrote my game using c++ and opengl, so i know how much work this is.

You did a good job on the self-made minimal game engine. Looking at the code, it looks organized and the implementation seems solid. Creating this engine in 48 hours + a complete game would be very hard but now that you have a minimal game engine, maybe you can use it for the next Ludum Dare to create a complete game using it :D
