Homer's 3D engine (added the source code)

[Catalyst]

i wasnt accusing you of copying...

i was wondering if we used the same method
mine was very similar except instead of 0,0,0 i used the camera

[Homer_simpson]

well in my case 0,0,0 is camera lol...
hmmm... u know what i'm thinking of... texturing...!!! but then again turing's too slow... but...it might be worth a shot what do u thinkl?

[Catalyst]

its worth a shot
youll prob be able to get double the fps of my psuedo textures if u do it the real way (which will leave you with a whopping 4 fps)

[JSBN]

u guys are rocking, this stuff blows my mind. Thx for trying to kill me
wow 4fps, don't go too fast now...

[Homer_simpson]

what's the real way... =/
where do u get all these tutorials from?!

[Catalyst]

i initialized a bunch of particles to and image to simulate a texture

the real way is to interpolate between the vertices of a quad to generate screen coors (saves a lot of overhead in rotations calcs)

if any one cares i am wroking on a 3d engion for dos c++ (Turbo C++ dos verions).

rigth now i got loading of raw files and arf with all the color wroking.

there are a lot of bugs i need to wrok out tho, dos dose not wrok great with graficks, lol.

[Homer_simpson]

dan is turbo c++ faster than turing cuz if it is i'm good at dos programming i could just translate mine in pascal or c

[Catalyst]

dan could you tell where to get dos c++ ( i already know c++)

[Homer_simpson]

i think this is the one he's using

i got it working
this is so old (in a good way) it has windows made from characters

and this is what my school makes me use, the dam thing crashs so many times!!!!

today in school it crashed over 50 times and 10 of those rebooted my computer!

[Homer_simpson]

lol i used to use the exact same program except that it was called turbo pascal... lol it would crash if u would make an array of a big size like 1000 but i still think that that was more powerful than turing since u could create any procedure u want using assembly or other built in things...

ok here's the source... and here's how it is used:
there are 5 procedures and 2 objects u should know about in order to use the engine proceudres are:
loadarf(filename) > loads arf files
loadraw(filename,number of lines) >loads raw files
moveobject(command string,amount) > does the rotating and relocating of the object
command string can be"xy","xz","yz" for rotations or "x","y","z" for relocating
movecamera(command string,amount)
does the rotating and relocating of the camera
command string can be"xy","xz","yz" for rotations or "x","y","z" for relocating
drawobject(color1,color2,method)
color1 is the fill color
color 2 is the border color
method is the way the object is drawn(shaded,colored,empty,...)
u can enter 1,2,3,4 for method

[Homer_simpson]

and here's what i use to convert raw to arf:

code:

proc convertarf (filename : string, lines : int)     var file, file2 : int     var x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, x3, y3, z3 : real     var col : int := 16     open : file, filename + ".raw", get     open : file2, filename + ".arf", write     for i : 1 .. lines         get : file, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, x3, y3, z3         if i mod (lines div 14) = 0 then             col += 1         end if         write : file2, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, x3, y3, z3, col         locate (1, 1)         put col         locate (2, 1)         put i     end for end convertarf var filet:string put "Enter the name and address of the raw file to be converted to arf(no extention ex: c:/spike not c:/spike.raw): ".. get filet convertarf (filet, 264) put "done"
