YAAR (Yet Another Assembly/Axe Raycaster)
« on: December 11, 2010, 09:31:05 pm »
I had started work on an Axe raycaster a while ago, but forgot about it. However, squidgetx's raycaster reminded me that I had one too, so I went back to work on it. Anyways, it works pretty nicely, although somewhat slowly , and I have different versions with different features. It's pure Axe though, which is pretty awesome. ;D I run all my versions of it at 15MHz.

Unless you want me to go into the technical details, I won't, because that stuff is pretty ugly. But screenshots are cool!

Most of what I need to do now is try to make it faster, because these are all using the full 15MHz and it would be nice to save some processing power for other things!


EDIT: Attached a zip file containing the source code and compiled executables for all four versions.

You and squidgetx should have a competition to see who can get the most fps!

Can it do variable height raycasting? +1 anyway for the optimizations that I know are coming.

I just attached a zip file to the first post containing all the source and executable files.

Not yet, but I guess it's certainly possible. I'll look into adding features once I can make it faster though, because it already struggles to run smoothly at 15MHz even at 64x64 with no textures.

I also need to try to improve collision detection. If you walk into the outside corner of a solid block at certain angles, you don't collide with it and just walk right into it.

That's pretty cool!

For the pure black-and-white one, are you repeatedly drawing lines/rectangles, or do you have a more elaborate flood-fill algorithm of some kind (or am I completely off-base in my questions?)
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Outstanding!  Im amazed Axe has enough speed to do texture mapping on walls O.O I don't even

Looking really sweet :) Good luck on the optimizations.

My eyes just popped out of my head, like this O.O

I'm not sure how to describe the awesomeness that this is, but wow, textures! Plus it runs fast too. Did you use pure Axe or both Axe and ASM? I think when it is updated, you should maybe release the engine with some instructions on how to integrate it inside a game. It would be great to see games using this. :O

This is 100% pure Axe goodness. ;) And yes, if I manage to get it to run a bit faster and have a few more useful features for games (like scaled sprites) then I'll certainly release it as a tool for Axe programmers.

Holy...O.O

I'm definitely going to have to take a look at your source, though I doubt I'll be able to make many improvements to it lol

This is like my ideal raycaster for axe development... from heaven.  O.O
