Primitive Engine

[Thirlan Tyrandor]

I have now created a semi-decent 3D engine. It's not awe inspiring but it's a start.

Don't peer into the source code less thy wish to have your eyes burnt out by pure uncontrolled math. This is some heavy duty stuff that I can't even hope to try and explain to some of you unless you have a sufficient background in "linear algebra", which by the way has nothing to do with highschool algebra.

Once again you can try and run the program, but you need to download the glut32.dll and place it in your windows/system32 folder and for good measures place it in your windows/system folder too

If it doesn't run, like Chrono's situation, then you might need some opengl libraries as well. I've provided the opengl32.dll here as well, which you have to copy to windows/system32. IF THERE IS ALREADY A COPY OF OPENGL32.DLL THERE THEN I WOULD ADVISE YOU NOT TO COPY OVER IT. Doing this could result in irreversible damage.

Lastly, I'm not sure if this runs on windows vista operating system and chances are it probably doesn't ^_- so I included a little picture so that you can at least see something!

At some point I'm going to put up links, websites and materials you should get if you are interested in learning how to do some of this.

How dare you confuse me by using ESDF movement.

[Thirlan Tyrandor]

Oh right hahaha, it's
e - move forward
d - move backwards
s - strafe left
f - strafe right

click the left mouse button and hold to move the camera around

By the way fish, in case you were wondering about why I'm doing this and not the website, it's for a class.

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

Ah, I was indeed.

[Aethelric Brandt]

Oh right hahaha, it's
e - move forward
d - move backwards
s - strafe left
f - strafe right

That will cause me much mental anguish. I'm scared to download it, now.

FYI, it works fine in Vista x64.

[Thirlan Tyrandor]

Are you sure ^_-
Because that's GREAT

Any updates? I must've missed this the first time around so I'm going to necro it out of interest.

This project was placed in cold storage due to two important projects that required immediate attention. Now that DF is coming out, it's not really needed either, but I personally will be working on this at a later point as it is a life long project and a fun hobby :P
