I would say to just use the 256 degree angle system as the one the user will use.

I think I'll go with speed then :)

also, no I'm not gonna release source or anything in the near future, and no screenies for a least a week, I just posted this thread in advance until I get triangles working great (or at all)

Oh, I thought he said a cube. A square would still be two triangles, unless quadrilaterals are supported as a primitive. (There's no real reason to have them, though.)

And since this is an axiom it will also make it more compatible with Axe :)  Good luck with triangles!  What method are you using for filling currently?

Good luck Ashbad! This seems like an interesting project. I'm glad you're still doing calc stuff too.

I'd go for speed and teh screenies.  This looks interesting.  I hope you can pull it off.

Only on the Prizm and the CX, unless that GL package comes bundled with a new LCD and driver :P

You know, the CX could probably come fairly close to Minecraft in speed if the maps were limited because of how much overhead Java can have.

Good luck, Ashbad.

Sorry to shatter your hopes, but there's just not enough RAM to make that happen.

It would really have to be a tiny version of it, lol. Personally I would rather want to see some other kind of 3D games first, though, then later we can integrate gCn to have multiplayer. I have doubts about the feasibility of 3D+gCn, though. There will definitively need to be as less info as possible being transmitted every few frames.

well, with a whole new overhaul in place, I know how I'll do depth rendering!  :)  I've almost got a line to render great in any camera position, so things are looking better.

Also, this isn't scenegraph based, though -- you'll have to implement a primitive renderloop to update some things as it is right now.  Scenegraphs are really not as feasible on a 84+ :P

Why did you strikethrough that post?

because I had problems with it and thought I had to scrap it -- but then I found a nice routine for polygon drawing ^-^
