First-person is difficult-to-impossible to do with BYOND. What you're talking about is a 3D environment that is really well outside BYOND's graphical capabilities to do right now.

I think he means at least an algorithim that sets it up so you can't see behind yourself..or something.

P.S. School tends to make it hard for you to think.

When someone says "first person" it means a 3D environment. If he meant something else I think he'd have said so.

Good point, and well made.

I consider this a first person view, but it isn't 3d. I think that's what the term dungeon crawl refers to.

2½D, as that is commonly referred to, is a simulation of 3D space on a 2D plane. It can very easily be referred to as "3D", because that's what it is designed to simulate. Technically, it will never be more than 2D. All 3D games aren't 3D either, if one uses that logic.

Wow that's fantastic. There actually is something like this on byond. Is there any way we could get a hold on how to make it?

yes this is what I was talking about

Hell no!

Why not? It looks like it would be great to make a game based around that...like wizardry.

Ask Leftley (he made it).
