- Hi everyone,
-
- I am trying to write a 3D maze in which the player can move around as if
- he/she is "inside" the maze. (something like the adventure game ULTIMA
- when you are inside a dungeon...)
-
- I wrote a version but it is extremely slow. First I transform the 2D maze
- into 3D coordinates. Then for every move, I redraw the maze with appropriate
- transformation, rotations and hidden surface eliminations... and as you can
- tell it takes a lot of TIME!!!
-
- I feel like there MUST be some simple way to do such a thing since when I
- played ULTIMA on an APPLE computer a long time ago, it ran pretty fast...
-
- can anyone out there give me a hand???
-
- thank you so much in advance!
-
- Peter
