TIB: New 3D Engine!!


I've been designing a 3d engine like that used in such games as Doom,
etc.. I've got a skeleton that will create a hallway in which  you can
go forward, backward, left and right.

This is only the first version for the TI-86. If there are enough
requests I'll post it.

It creates this kind of thing        \             /
                                                      \ ____/
                                                       |         |
                                                       |____|
                                                      /          \
                                                     /            \

All you've got to do is add the graphics and make your game play.
Currently the engine is split up into 4 programs so that you can
easily depict how it works. The programs are HALL, GETKEY, LEFT,
RIGHT. The whole engine is only around 770 bytes. It would be smaller
if I condensed it into one program but it takes away the speed then.
Is it worth it?

    I didn't realize this cool little thing until just a couple of
nights ago.  I don't know if anyone knew this before, but here goes.

    Everybody knows how to call a program within a program, correct?
The coding would look something like this:

    prgmGO
    0->X: 0->Y
    For(X,1,10)
    X+1->X
    If X=5
    prgmSTOP
    End
    Stop

    However, did you ever stop to think about calling the program that
is currently running within itself?

    prgmGO
    If X=5
    Goto 0
    0->X: 0->Y
    For(X,1,10)
    X+1->X
    If X=5
    prgmGO
    End
    Stop
    Lbl 0
    Disp "This totally sucks ass"

    This lets you essentially "restart" your program without putting a
label at the top.  I thought this was really cool, but most of you
probably already know this.  Oh, well.
