8 bit 3-d game

There have been many people who have shown
interest in an 8-bit 3-d game, similar to Wolf3D.

There are a bunch of us who'd like to see, play the game,
but it seems there are also a few programmers out there
that would be interested in coding this game.

I don't know if anyone has actually started gathering
information, 3-d techniques, source code, etc.

please reply to this post with ideas, I'll add them to the
site.


I think we should start looking for :

1)3-d games for the IIe that we could disassemble and
learn tricks from

2)3-d drawing tricks.  wireframe, solid shapes, color
fill, 3-d level representation, perhaps display of tiles
in 3d at any angle, rotation?

3)game concept.  run around and shoot enemies?
find treasure?  fight armies?

4)game AI....  enemies gotta be smart enough to shoot
at you when they see you!

5)how to represent enemies?  tiles?  Have code to scale
tiles to screen, or have multiple tiles in memory, each at
a different scale (IE, 0 "feet" away, 10 "feet" away, 20"feet" away)


In the past I've written games, completed all of the
level sequence, enemy sequence, etc, but then stopped
the project because I don't like drawing all the graphics!

now I've got a way to snipe graphics from other games, so
drawing isn't a problem.
