Raycasting engine is making steady progress! I thought putting in some lighting effects would be a nice touch.

Nice! How much faster does it run in this one?

Wow that's amazing!!

All it needs is a space marine and some killer tomatoes!

i have a question.what's actually an engine? i heard many things but i got nothing i thought for ne an engine would be like the graphics laws of the world,like the zbuffer speed and such

An engine is like a toolkit library, except with better user interface, so you don't have to make one yourself.

Following you so I can eventually try your engine when you actually release it!

@HHarry so a dev kit is an engine?

beautiful!!!!!! if u interested in japanese program,u should join smileBASIC community of japan

@Airith I think an engine is more like, the main code that actually runs something. Not the entire game, just the parts of the code that run the basics like moving, rendering, AI, etc. In a 2D sidescroller engine, for example, the engine would be the code that processes movement, physics, scrolling, controlling enemies, etc., but not the code that stores level designs and other unique elements.

I'm not 100% sure on that though, so don't take it as fact!

How did you get the 3d animation to work on smile basic? This is incredible! You make your own version of mind craft using this software.

Well, it's more of a graphics engine than a game engine, and it would probably be closer to call it a library. I certainly intend to make it usable in games, though.

i'm sorry calc84 i just want to get it right on my question so the engine is a library of graphics props?

Very nice engine!

If you need a game idea i can give you some ideas.

Like what game ideas

CALC84! YOU HELPED PHILLIP DEVELOP MINECRAFT DS FOR PTC!, RIGHT? MY QUESTION IS, HOW MANY LINES LONG IS THIS HALLOWEEN GAME? (and what is a raycaster... i feel stupid...)
