n7 version 22.04.22
#1
https://naalaa.com/n7/N7_230422.zip

Above is the link to a new version with the following changes:

2023-04-22
  • Added buttons to hide the console and the function list in ned
  • Changed and added some functions in the wolf3d library and improved its performance (a lot)

Edit The new wolf3d example (N7/examples/wolf3d/example_6.n7) displays the number of frames per second at the bottom of the screen. I'm curious about what it shows on your computers (and how powerful they are). It should run a lot faster than both the n6 raycaster and gloom libraries. Also, when you hide the output area in ned, you can still see the last message next to "Output".

Terrific - shows as 500 fps on my Thinkpad laptop (Intel i5 @ 2.6 ghz with 4gb ram). I'll try it on a couple of others over the weekend, and run some comparisons between this and the previous library.

You can call w3d.UseCRendering(false) to use the old renderer.

I liked it a lot, it is very well implemented and the 3d sensation is very effective.

I run N7 on my Linux machine via Wine and I get an FPS between 180-250. Nice and quick and very smooth... Great job!!
May your journey be free of incident.
Live long and prosper.

Hi,

These are the fps figures that I am seeing. In brackets is the fps using the old renderer (w3d.UseCRendering(false) placed before the main loop) - that is quite a speed increase in each case.....thank you.

Thinkpad laptop (Intel i5 @ 2.6 ghz with 4gb ram) - 333-500 (90-130)
Thinkpad laptop (Core2Duo @ 1.7 ghz with 3gb ram - 250-333 (55-70)
Very old Toshiba laptop (Pentium 3 @ 600 mhz with 384 mb ram - 30 (15)

I'm having fun playing with this, and look forward to any further enhancements.

All the best - Kevin.

Thanks for testing and showing me the numbers! I'll settle with the current performance for now and focus on making a game instead Smile As I wrote somewhere else, I will have a look at the "random dungeon generator" thing I wrote some years ago. Back then I gave up because it was so tedious to make graphics, but this time I'll go for really large pixels and no 3d rendered stuff.

I look forward to seeing a full game - in particular, how any enemies and thier movement are coded.......
