Here is the best one, i believe...

It's really tough. LowRes NX is focused on sprite and tilemap based display, so in addition to developing a ray casting engine you'll also need to develop a pixel-level display driver. Further, the system is pretty slow, so a near complete understanding of the clock cycle count helps too. It's insanely hard!

Seems very hard. I’ll stick to making NXCraft for now.
KierhamSoftware 2021-02-24 17:14
NXCraft’s controls are even harder somehow, so I’ll try to make a 3D engine

I can’t do either

3D tracing math is like doing multiple sets of formula solving... simultaneously! And constantly !
I did well in advanced calculus back when i took it... i got highest grade on the final exam... i also the longest time ever... for what should have been a 1-2hr test, i took all day, over 8 hrs.. the testing was opened all day to accommodate students different exam schedules, but i got the whole day cleared, and as there was no time limit, i got started as soon as the doors open, brought food to eat, and didnt leave until the doors closed... i spent the time going over everthing and fixing errors and mistakes...
But i am at a point now that i cannt handle multiple layers of math... perhaps if i was well rested and had lots of free time, i probably could do it... but i have neither good rest nor virtually any free time, so it aint happening with me either...
i have done "simulated" 3d environment though... let me find those ...

A 3d simulation of a maze based on a grid, and eliminating large spaces, and also forgoing smooth pixel movement for square to square jump-to movement, it reduces the 3d effect to mere graphic allusion with no real math ;)
