<\/a><\/p>\nI\u2019m running this on my old Pentium 200mmx MS-DOS machine, as seen in the pic. It still sucks a lot, but I\u2019ve got crappy affine texture mapped polygons, 256 color palette managment which automatically manages the gouraud shading color ramps on textured polygons, 3D polygon clipping,\u00a0 and first person shooter-like camera control with free mouselook.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not all from scratch; some of the code I\u2019ve ripped out of a simpler DOS 3D hack I wrote about a year ago. For the most part what I did today was port the code from 16bit BorlandC to 32bit WatcomC, rewrite the rasterizer, write a 3D polygon clipper, and fix horrible bugs all over the place. The 3D scene in this shot was ineptly created in blender.<\/p>\n
The idea, which doesn\u2019t look like is going to happen, is to have the player walk around a small pre-modelled dungeon, and collect treasure, while ideally fighting a couple of \u201cmonsters\u201d. Realistically, it\u2019s very unlikely that I\u2019ll find time to add monsters, so it might become just a dungeon \u201cexploration\u201d \u201cgame\u201d (note the amount of quotation marks <\/p>\n
