3D engine for QBasic??
3D engine for QBasic??
I was wondering if a simple 3D engine exist for QBasic or better yet FreeBasic(drawing wise).
No I'm not asking for Direct3D, OpenGL, or even Texturing render.. What I am simply asking for is a simple 3D engine that draws something like the SuperFX effects from your common super-nintendo theme.
Mainly because, with OpenGL on freebasic, it's a pain in the ass to simply just add a lot of code to just to get text in the display screen unlike in common graphics mode, simply just simply get a bunch of 3D related calculations and pretty mich use print and line for the 2D interface.
Sounds a lot simpler than GL.
I am no math expert that just wanna get my dream game come true.

Check out rel.betterwebber.com for some cool stuff, including tutorials and programs for QB and FB 3D engines. Look around the forums here for Nek's Two Lords 3D game engine. Also check out Lithium's Raycasting engine. You can find the link to it in this month's QB Express.
Good Luck!

It's really not THAT hard - once you get a basic setup to do drawing, you can just copy & paste that code into any new project you want to do, and modify it if you want to do something slightly different.Nathan1993 wrote:That makes 2 of us!Z!re wrote:I suck!Nekrophidius wrote: OpenGL doesn't suck...programmers who don't want to spend the time learning it suck.

Okay, so Brick Wall, you seem to still be looking for how to do a 3D engine. Check out these tutorials:
http://rel.betterwebber.com/index.php?a ... =Tutorials
That's the first 4 tutorials of Rel's series. The last one is here:
http://www.petesqbsite.com/sections/exp ... ex.html#3d
You can do all of this stuff in FreeBasic.
Check out the Xeno engine, it's in the downloads section of Pete's site. It uses DirectQB, so you can't really recompile it with FB "as it is". But it's good to look at.
Are you planning on coding your own, or using someone else's engine?
