Ray Casting Engine Demo

[YANDMAN]

Bring on Doom

This looks amazing, nice work

 

Would you say it's nearly impossible to do something similar without the ARM code, retaining DPC+? Even if it was painfully slow or lower resolution?

[Joe Musashi]

Merlin's Wall has shown that it is in principle possible without an ARM. However, AFAIK it requires a tilted screen so that it can use a symmetric playfield. A not-tilted version would have to use an asymmetric playfield which would then have to be updated in every line.

 

A 32 bit wide playfield with coarse vertical resolution may be doable, but it would probably be much slower than Merlin's Walls.

Anyone know who programmed this Raycasting demo?

The YouTuber just says, "He.."

I did. It uses the display kernel that I discussed here.

[Thomas Jentzsch]

Did you post a ROM for that demo somewhere?

[ZackAttack]

No, I haven't posted a ROM for it yet.

That is an awesome rendering engine, you should make a FPS or 3D pacman

[8-bit_d-boy]

Excellent work! This runs very smooth in Stella. My only suggestion would be to make the Color/BW switch switch between rendering modes.

Now to make Tunnel Runners 2!

Would you mind sharing a .bin, of what you have, as an early WIP build?
