Through some random searches, I have come up with these demos...actually they are in the game section...engines I guess. They claim to be able to deliver an engine for a 3D game! this is impressive to me and I have three links below to a few of these I found
http://www.byond.com/games/Siientxx/Byond3DEngine
http://www.byond.com/games/UnknownPerson/RayCastingEngine
http://www.byond.com/games/OneFishDown/RoyalNonesuchEngine
these all claim to be able to show you how to make a 3 dimentional game for byond, but sadly it wont let me download any of them! the one in the middle actually shows a picture of the game at work. This intriques me. People are always telling me that its impossible when there are actually these engines out there that I guess teach you how! only thing is that I cant get to opening the files. It saying things like unzip failed and such like that.
Is there any way to get into these? I would REALLY like to see how they did it

It's technically possible, but it's not really feasible to make a 3D game on BYOND. Vengeance 56, Gamerkasuka's 3D game, is still rather slow to play. If you want to make these games, you'd better have an understanding of trigonometry.

ok let's say I do then, so how do I figure out how to do it though? I mean these demos explain obviously but I cannot access them...is there any way to acess them?

in my opinion ANYTHING can be done on byond, its just a matter of doing it. I mean technically byond has 3 dimensions, x y z but to make a 3D game would require some very fancy pogroming, iconing, and i don't think it could really become a multiplayer game.

Sure though, a lot of things CAN be done, BYOND is a pretty powerful language for it's relative simplicity and ease of use. Also, there're a lot of things that CAN be done, but are not feasible, slow, or otherwise undesired. I me technically byond has 3 dimensions, x y z Yes, but it's completely nothing to do with "3 dimensions" as in width, height, and depth. You could well accomplish virtually everything you can now if the 'z' variable never existed; the different z levels are basically just "another place" on the map (and that place still has only 2 dimensions), similarly to x and y values but the different z values are divided. but to make a 3D game would require some very fancy pogroming, iconing, and i don't think it could really become a multiplayer game. You're quite correct on that. I'd recommend the OP to cease pursuing making a 3D game, especially on BYOND. | |
