So, as you may have guessed it already from the above screenshot, I'm working on a collision detection library. It is mainly meant to be used with GLib, and I hope that it will make calculator-3D programming more user-friendly, especially for programmers with few or no experience with 3D programming.
It's not ready to be used for a game yet, as it only supports a few basic things. The basic engine is already working though, which makes it easy for me to add more into the engine.
I mainly want to say this so that double work can be avoided. Further updates when the engine will be almost game-ready will be posted in a different thread, since this is not an official part of GLib, to avoid highjacking this one.

Anyway, have a screenshot:

Indeed, it looks pretty great !

This reminds me a bit Benryves engine, but slower (most likely since it's in Axe). It looks really nice and seems like it could be used in-game, though.

Ideed, it looks great
I especially like the elevator. effect.

So...DOOM?

There are already a few Doom clones available. Plus, they "only" need a raycaster, not a full 3D engine.

It's indeed in a cube of [-128,128], both because of GLib and because I decided to use 8bit numbers for the worldborder values. If I get rid of the world border, it could handle a much larger area, but when you have to deal with a large area, you're better of dividing it into multiple sectors, since too many objects will slow it down (for every object that has collision detection, it has to loop trough all solid objects (like walls or the pillar in the screenshot) to apply the collision detection to it.

YAY Lighting!

well if gif is broken, you can see it there : http://i.imgur.com/HxskaVA.gif
Strange that the gif appears odly, since it look fine on my computer.

Actually I don't think per pixel light calculation are possible on a calculator, sooo it is indeed high res texture with dithered pattern (I even added magnification, but it run so slowwwwww)

- Does it start with an A? I think I know what it is

shhhhhh it is a secret 

also, billboard are planned, even if I don't think I will ever succed to code them ><


EDIT : attached the gif
 

I think the GIF issue is that the black color is transparent in it. I tried in Firefox and Opera 12.17 because I had the same issue in Chrome and Opera 24 and neither the other browsers could display it right, not could the image viewers. So to see it properly you need to use a black background.

Here is a fixed GIF (unless the white part was supposed to be green?), but it's like 800 KB large >.<



Looks nice by the way. It seems a little slow though so perhaps it shouldn't be something implemented by default in every game using GLIB but rather an option if the programmer chooses to include it. Nice job nonetheless though

Also nice to see you back
