People,
        About a month ago I posted a pretty rough 3d raycasting engine
up here which some people played about with a bit, well since then I
have been thinking over, designing and working a new 3d engine system,
how do these specs sound so far:

        - non-othogonal walls (ie.. walls dont have to be right angled)
          this means that walls have to be specified as vectors like as
in the doom levels with sectors etc
        - 256 color walls etc (with shading..)
        - texture mapping (?!?!?!?)

Ok ok, first betas will probably just have the first bit for now. But I
have the last two under tab. :)

I now have to go and finish off redesigning the engine (something I have
done about 3 times) and then I can recode all over again. It doesnt take
too long.. off I go. :) Hey.. I'll leave this open as I do mywork and I
can keep adding to this so you get to see my log.

11:45 - go to get my rough book and something to drink and nibble on
12:00 - food eaten, brain still empty
12:15 - sod it for tonight, work on it when I wake up maybe, not awake
enough now

=)

Cheers,

Maybe we should dub you "son of Carmack"???  ;)
