PICO-8 : Fantasy console

Aah ok. I guess maybe he wasn't much into IRC at first or didn't feel that it was big enough to warrant a channel, but it's a good initiative for people who need quick help or wants to discuss in real time. I usually encourage forums for help/showcase, though, since posts remain forever, unlike logs, and are easier to search through.

And CW isn't solely about calcs so anyone is free to cross-post their PICO-8 dev here too

This is something someone on the PICO-8 BBS made:

Seriously, that is just freaking epic. I always wondered if 3D stuff was feasible in PICO-8. Also this seeems to run quite nicely.

Don't forget the 3D demo that I made!

Yeah true but this new one seemed to push things even further due to graphics reminding me of Star Fox for the SNES. I am curious if the engine will be open-sourced so it can benefit other users. That said, a scaled-down 3D engine would also be nice, for people who wants faster speed.

Casuals: wooo, 128x128 is really retro, I wonder if it is just a little bit too less pixels.
DJ Omnimaga: Why not scale it down?

Dream of Omnimaga · November 15, 2015, 06:25:02 AM

I was not talking about the amount of pixels, but rather the amount of polygons and details.

I saw this on Twitter and thought this was awesome:

I didn't really understand the concept when I read how they work in particular. Otherwise I'd have loved having a motorbike game on calculator

Dream of Omnimaga · November 29, 2015, 06:54:39 AM

Yeah I am unsure either. I would probably like to give such project a try on my HP Prime at some point.

Looks like some pretty nice Mode 7 here.

Looks pretty sweet :o

I really want to figure out how to make such game properly now (eg not the TI-BASIC way like I did in 2002 and 2007). I'm fairly sure that the HP Prime could pull it off. Otherwise I could use Mac Bernick's engine from Trailblazer. I'm glad that PICO-8 is able to pull this off, though.

Well effectively it would just be solving the intersection of a ray and a plane, which is pretty easy to do, and probably doesn't even require any expensive calculation like square roots.
