Author Topic: WIP: Isometric Demo re-revisited v3.02, more shape functions (Read 3346 times)

madscijr · « **on:** December 31, 2021, 04:01:18 pm »

One last tweak to the holiday theme for the year, @bplus!
The code to place the tree lights is the biggest kludge, but it mostly works.
Maybe someone can create a Christmas Tree Construction Set out of this if they get bored.

Under the hood we have some new functions to get circle data and line data in a 2D array
(see GetLineData and GetCircleData subs) which come in handy if you need coordinates for those shapes.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays.

' This crude version uses a 3-dimensional array (32x32x32)
' to store cubes of different colors,

' Conclusion#
' Returning back to first program with the fastest way of drawing circles...
' There is one more thing to note. In case you want to use PLOT subroutine,
' which is part of the main circle routine, then read following explanation.
' PLOT routine is written so it can be used easily from Atari BASIC program
' independently from main circle routine, by using like this:
' A=USR(30179,POK,X,Y)
'
' POK   1 (drawing a pixel), 0 (erasing a pixel)
' X     X coordinate of the pixel
' Y     Y coordinate of the pixel
'
' The routine alone is not any faster than normal PLOT command
' from Atari BASIC, because USR command takes approximately 75%
' of whole execution. But, used as part of the main circle routine
' it does not matter anymore, because it is integrated in one larger
' entity. There the execution is very fast, with no overhead.
' PLOT routine is here for you to examine anyway.
' You never know if you will maybe need it in the future.

' Here's a perfect example of that:
' Here we look at two different circle fill routines -- one, which I'd assume to 
' be faster, which precalculates the offset needed to find the endpoints for each 
' line which composes a circle, and another, which is the same old CircleFill 
' program which I've shared countless times over the years with people on various 
' QB64 forums.
' 
' When all is said and done though, CircleFill is STILL even faster than 
' CircleFillFast, which pregenerates those end-points for us!

' *****************************************************************************
' UNDER CONSTRUCTION
' Tried to get this working for 3D and positive indexed array, 
' and no runtime or compile errors, 
' but doesn't seem to be working (the screen goes black when we render it!)
' *****************************************************************************
 
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' CHANGES
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' * Modified to work with 3 dimensional array (iterates through z axis)
' * Modified to work with non-polar array (converts coordinates to polar coordinates)
 
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' NOTES
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Tries to fix the problem of 2 points resolving to the same coordinate
' (one overwrites the other, which becomes "lost")
' using a different approach, by just looking at the problem angles:
' 30, 60, 120, 150, 210, 240, 300, 330 degrees
 
' (which can be cClockwise or cCounterClockwise) 
' together with which quarter of the screen the point is in, 
 
' Note: cClockwise and cCounterClockwise constants must be declared globally.
 
' Returns # points missing (that could not be corrected) in iMissing parameter.
 
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Dependencies
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Needs the following constants defined: 
' cPlaneXY=1, cPlaneYZ=2, cPlaneZX=3
' cCounterClockwise = -1, cClockwise = 1
 
' Receives:
' OldArray() = original 3d array (x,y,z) of MapTileType to be rotated, 
'              * must contain an odd # of elements, so there is a center axis to rotate around
' NewArray() = rotated  3d array (x,y,z) of MapTileType to be returned
'              * must be the same array size/type as OldArray
'              * must be declared as a dynamic array with ReDim
' angle1     = angle to rotate OldArray to, can be 0-360
' iDirection = direction of rotation, can be cClockwise or cCounterClockwise
' iAxis      = which plane to draw it on, where cPlaneXY=X,Y cPlaneYZ=Y,Z cPlaneZX=X,Z
'              * currently only cPlaneXY is supported
' iMissing   = return value, # of points which were "lost in rotation"
 
' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' TODO:
' * get it working
' * maybe add option to only rotate one slice
'   (e.g. if we're rotating x/y, specify a single z)

' Given a string of words separated by spaces (or any other character),
' splits it into an array of the words. I've no doubt many people have
' written a version of this over the years and no doubt there's a million
' ways to do it, but I thought I'd put mine here so we have at least one
' version. There's also a join function that does the opposite
' array -> single string.

Ha! I actually would welcome someone programming a real 3D engine, to render a 3-Dimensional array of voxels at whatever camera angle, in isometric or first person. What I have is really just a bunch of experiments scotch taped together. The big problem it has, is rendering the whole X,Y,Z matrix gets slow the more points there are. Maybe some kind of ray tracing algorithm to identify and only draw the voxels that should be visible would speed it up? I'm not much of a math wizard, and these problems have been solved and improved on many times over by much smarter people than me. If there was a library or framework that we could just plug our 3-D array into and some parameters (perspective, camera angle, etc.) that would render it to the screen, that would make 3D so much easier... That goes double for VR apps!
