Title: Isometric Demo re-revisited (getting better!)
Post by: madscijr on December 02, 2021, 10:40:31 am
I did more playing around with the Isometric Mapping Demo code from
https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1903.30 (https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1903.30)
and added a "walk around" mode with code to render cubes that block the view of the player as transparent,
with a simultaneous 2-D top down "map" view of the player's current Z slice.
This could be the beginning of a framework for simple 2.5d games.
Anyway I hope someone enjoys this or finds it helpful...
Any comments welcome.

  2. ' Isomatric mapping demo re-revisited
  3. ' Version 2.69 by madscijr
  4.  
  5. ' Based on Isometric Mapping Demo
  6. ' by SMcNeill, bplus, and others at
  7. ' https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1903.30
  8.  
  9. ' This crude version uses a 3-dimensional array (32x32x32)
  10. ' to store cubes of different colors,
  11. ' and draws them to the screen in 2.5D "isometric".
  12. ' Added code to render cubes that block the view of
  13. ' the player as transparent. Added a 2-D top down "map"
  14. ' view of the player's current Z slice.
  15.  
  16. ' TO DO:
  17. ' * allow player to rotate their view
  18. ' * option to hide objects out of player's line-of-sight
  19. ' * add objects (water, ladders, ropes, windows, doors, ramps, etc.)
  20. ' * shrink grid size to 8x8 (may need to use some other rendering method)
  21. ' * expand world to bigger than screen (2.5d scrolling view)
  22. ' * show player as a stick figure (like "Realm of Impossibility")
  23. ' * add ability to walk up ramps / climb ladders / etc.
  24. ' * simultaneously show additional 1st person view
  25. ' * add ability for tilting head up/down in first person
  26. ' * split screen (x2 or x4) local multi-player version
  27. ' * make simple open world (players can add/remove blocks, build in real time, save screens)
  28. ' * make simple games (maze craze, capture the flag, snake, surround, 2.5d pong)
  29. ' * make more complex games (berzerk, lode runner, atari combat / tank)
  30. ' * make awesome complex games (2.5d lunar lander, atari adventure, asteroids, gravitar, etc.)

Heh, thanks. I've never really dabbled in anything like 3D before, and I've been finding just getting it to work the way I want opens up so many questions.
I am constantly reminded of how much I don't know, but I'm learning, often from just trial and error.
For instance I must have gone through 5 or 6 different methods to determine what bricks are in front of the player to make transparent.
Also it's made easier by searching the QB64 help and forums, and it doesn't hurt that QB is a friendly and easy language.
