I don't see any reason why you shouldn't make it open source now. It would really speed up development.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing you. You're doing a great job, I only meant to say that you shouldn't worry about people decompiling and going through your code. No one is going to steal anything.

I really want to imagine that, but I'm just too paranoid :).
Anyway, spent my time when I got home on a new plan for texture mapping. Failed spectacularly in a mess of low FPS and random coloured walls. So I spent the last half an hour adding a depth based shadow, enjoy! As always, needs criticism (and I know the wall clipping is shite, going to fix that tomorrow).

holy crap this is amazing!

its looking cooler everytime i see it, cant wait to see what you improove next. every once and a while i get a wall pop into view out of nowhere for a frame or so.

Yeah, me too. It will probably be something to do with me using ints all the time. I'll look into fixing it tomorrow.

i got stuck in the wall :( dun like it in there.
really awsome tho...be incred if u cud make it a multiplayer server so you see other ppl walkin around, could just be a social hangout if you added a place to chat...then u can play hide and seek and stuffs heh. orrrrr just shoot eachother which 99% of the ppl who use this to make somthing will prob do.

I think you need to fix the double jump or something (I think it should be a single jump anyway).

Clipping needs a lot more work before you do anything else with graphics in my opinion. The engine looks great so far, but the collision with walls is completely unacceptable.

Definitely looking good, Ken! 3D rocks...

Updates please

Don't ask for an update unless you can help with one please, it's rude

Sorry, been focusing on fixing texture mapping. There will be an update when that is done.

/Ressurection

I started the engine completely from scratch today, using tile based raycasting instead. I now have textures working, and each tile can be different heights (it can do transparent walls too). Goals for tomorrow: floor texture mapping and the player ascending / descending (from jumping or walking up steps). Oh, and I have an idea to speed it up (theres some lag when you approach a high wall). Wolfenstein 3D textures for now.

Hmm, I'm, using solid pink (0xFF00FF) as my masking colour, so if a wall texture's pixels are 0xFF00FF, they won't be drawn and you can see behind them. But when I save the pictures, they lose the exact colour 0xFF00FF, even when on high quality. The transparency works when the masking colour is set to black, because that colour is not lost. Is there a way to 100% keep colour when saving the image? Better yet is there a way of seeing is a colour is approximately 0xFF00FF, with a small margin?

New question:

var oneArray:Array = new Array("a", "b", "c");
var twoArray:Array = oneArray; // Both array variables refer to the same array.
twoArray[0] = "z";             
trace(oneArray);               // Output: z,b,c.

How do I bypass this so that oneArray isn't sharing values with twoArray?

omg you're epic.
you almost have an FPS in Flash.

A fellow pastafarian I see!
I'll have another update soon, just need to fix the problems above. And an FPS is exactly the game I want to make. Or a First Person RPG, like Arena.

wow that lots alot better then the old one, the only thing i get is it starts to go really slow when im close to a wall. anyway thats awsome, this looks wayyy better.

Thanks. I can make it much faster if I can find a faster way to clear an array than making it and all 160*120*2 of its directories. See my latter problem above (please, someone help!).

LOOKING AWESOME! You should get a counter strike like thing with that!

please sir, would you mind if i have sex with that?

Please clean it up afterward. Oh, and thanks I guess.

I noticed the frame rate was already starting to tank once you added textures. Now would probably be a good time to go through you're code and see where you can do things more efficiently before it gets too big to do so.

Keep up the good work!

I've just implemented a more efficient method of drawing the display and z-buffering, now I'm going to use calculation tables to do all the predictable maths beforehand. It should be much faster next update.

The game is too dark, i can't see farther than 5 feet.
U probally did that for framerate issues...

I tested it with a drawDistance of 64 (a wall has dimentions 1*1), and it loses no speed compared to a drawDistance of 8 (what you have seen). Update coming soon.

OK, here's an update before I go. Increased draw distance, (hopefully) increased speed, and masked textures. Expect floorcasting in the next update and clipping.

Hmm, some questions for optemisation:
is

var a:Number = b / c;

Any slower than

var a:Number = b;
a /= c;

is

var a:Number = b>1?1:b;

Any fater than

var a:Number = b;
if(a > 1){
a = 1;
}

is

var a:Number = b;

Any fater than

var a:Number = new Number(b);

or

var a:Number = new Number();
a = b;

my 2 cents

this one ran on a avrage of 48 FPS for me (not sure what the max should be...
Actually prefered the texture

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/080309/7 7778_main.php
this ran at about 30 fps

That will be because I changed the max framerate to 32 on the second one.
