It runs without problems on a real CX
An idea..since the map isn't drawn pretty far forward might it be possible to have a mini-map that's a slice of the current height's layer or something?
Also yeah, the A and Z are a bit out of the way

Edit: random thought- is the map drawn all the way around the player or just in front if it?

Will this project be revived

Woah, when did this appear! Congrats and great job!

Glad to see this revived and with CX support

This would totally win my vote for POTY, after the gbc gba emulators from calc84! (But that was the last POTY, this could be the next winner )

Woah, thanks for the support !

Yes, that is totally possible. When I will be done with basic stuff (adding and removing blocks, inventory), I will add this
(of course, you will be able to deactivate it if it annoys you)

The cubes behind the player aren't sorted nor drawn. I might optimize this part a bit more, though.

After that will you add the ability to be able to place +destroy blocks (maybe jumping too)

Adding and removing blocks is off course the next item on my todo list
But it requires 3D raycasting, and I don't know much about that... I'll do research this week-end...

I don't think this will win the POTY, gpSP is really better
But thank you for your support !

I hope I will make a lot of progress this week-end...

I just tried it on my CX, it works perfectly and is great already

Would a scrolling background image slow the game down too much? It would be nice to have a background with clouds that moves around when you rotate the camera.

Yeah, I agree that the white background feels a bit empty. If adding a background is too slow, maybe just coloring it in blue would fill the blank pretty well already ?

I tried it more in depth now, fell down and noticed that there are resources underground

Also, while I was at it, I thought about something that would improve it in my opnion (and of course, it is only my opninion). I think that the controls would be a lot better if the touchpad didn't need any click, like in mViewer's browser. I mean using the touchpad like a touchpad without pressing it, not like buttons
The only problem I see with my idea is that it wouldn't work on non CX models, but maybe you could implement both control schemes so each calc has at least one working control scheme ?

You should look into how raycasting is done for drawing maps in a raycaster (only the ray cast, not the drawing), then try to add the third dimension. This will be the easyest way, and it's fully possible because of the block-based world. Raycasting as used in 3D computer games often uses more complex calculations and search for polygons, which would also make it harder to use.
