Ok...I want to know how OneFishDown did this...his maze game....How!?!?!?!?! I need to know!!! If you know...please tell me
OneFishDown's Maze Game Tell me if you figure it out!
Do you know some trigonometry? Otherwise you probably wouldn't understand it, not that I wouldn't explain it anyway.

I forget the specifics of it, but I think the view is 120 pixels wide. Your field of vision is 60 degrees wide, 1 pixel per degree. You use a for loop to sweep your field of vision, and move outwards from the player in each of those 60 directions until you hit a wall. You know the distance to the wall, and from that you can determine how tall the wall should appear.

Trigonometry? Lol I feel so alienated with my "L337" Algebra 1 skills hehe. Actually thouhg I'm taking it a second year so I should be in Geometry.
In response to OneFishDown
What about how to make the icons?
In response to Buzzyboy
It's made by giving the the illusion your in a 3D game maze, but it is just a bunch of icons bunched together really well to look like 3d... As far as I know. He might not have even used icons if BYOND allows that.
In response to Kunark
I'm quite curious, I'd like to know how it all works
In response to Buzzyboy
Don't beg him though, I've already tried :-P
In response to Kunark
I'm guessing he used the blue book
In response to Buzzyboy
I have the blue book and it doesn't help that at all... He has a very unique and superior skill at coding, and he does know trigonometry.

I have been coding for close to a year more than him, yet his skills far surpass mine. That is unless he was someone that got a new key (Only person that I could think of that he might be an alternative key for that is a huge guru is Theodis.).
In response to Kunark
I seriously doubt OFD is Theodis. =P
In response to Kunark
yeah...how did he get so good so fast?
In response to Crispy
I didn't know Theodis so I dunno.
In response to OneFishDown
Ohhh, so THAT'S how you did it! I thought you used a full sight algorithm to draw them, checking everything in a 4-sided-pyramid shape going straight out from right in front of the player. I knew there was some hacky way you did it that cut down on processor time. =P
In response to Kunark
I don't know OFD very well, but he doesn't seem like Theodis, because from what ive seen ontthe forums of his coding, he doesnt use C++ brackets like theodis.

People can change...
In response to Bischoff
Theodis isn't OneFishDown. I've known Theodis for a while now, and they act radically different. I don't know whats with all this paranoia lately...</denial>
In response to Bischoff
Saying OFD is theodis is just plain stupid, why not say he is English, he knows a lot of advanceed maths, or even better OneFishDown is ... Lummox JR why just look at the ellipses thread to prove that there know-how of maths is byond the average.
of course, OFD could be Maz, I mean he is trying to dissuade you from thinkning hes any of his other keys.

Im afraid you are wrong. We are all really bots created by Tom, to inhabit his virtual world of game design. Hello, maz.dm.
In response to Alathon
why hello mr alatho.azoot how be you today on this fine day like time? are your vital functions working correctly and how is that troublesome Garthor proc running, no loops i presume?
In response to Magnus VI
I learned what little c++ I know after I learned DM. If I used braces in my BYOND coding it would've been from what Java I know, not c++.

I am not Theodis, Lummox, English, or Maz (though I do like math).

I don't have 'The Blue Book'.
