Weird 2D shadows/viewport using simple raytracing

[zotlerg]

The early Diablo games used this technique for shadows behind pillars, at much lower resolution of course. But that was blended to

That's really great! Would you share the code?

Very....intresting i like these new videos u have been doing . Wasent expecting that at all it was cool.well done:)

[Robinerd]

@ZxTSPONGE1 thank you! :D except for this video, were you thinking of the physics engine thingy?

[Dayntei]

... Well...

[rusty5707]

Now that is cool. Maybe you could make it like some kind of puzzle game.

[Robinerd]

@rusty5707 thanks!! I'm thinking of making some puzzle/arcade game where you move the mouse and are not allowed to touch the walls. There are lots of that kind of games out there, but I think this viewport effect in combination with more artistic design (like a little white mouse running around in a dangerous machinery) will give it a really nice dungeon-exploration feeling :)

@Robinerd If you are looking for a group to program with or anything like that I have a group that you can join.

Woah!

you could turn this into a sort of semi-blind maze, it makes you have to explore a little more instead of just tracing a path. You could also add keys and locks to add even more to explore.

[Robinerd]

@tyb4 yeah that's a good possibility! It could be the sort of maze where you navigate with the mouse and aren't allowed to touch the walls. It could even work for a more interesting version of pacman :o

[doyoulikepancakes54]

cool! do you still do chiptune covers?

[Robinerd]

@doyoulikepancakes54 yeah, I do, but I haven't had much time for that lately unfortunately :/ More to come soon though hopefully!
