Yet another work-in-progress update.
Tap [B] to move doors and secret panels. Hold [B] to circle-strafe. Debug shows framerate.
This is capped at 30 fps.

^ Now that's some quality content

I remember you saying that you couldn’t include enemies in the last version because of sprite limitations. Are you able to add them with the new display driver?
nathanielbabiak 2022-05-28 19:32
Yep, sprites will work. They'll be 8x8 textures projected onto 32x32 sprites, and they'll be partly hidden by walls, if applicable

Cool! Can't wait to see it.

nice pause transition
nathanielbabiak 2022-05-29 17:01 (Edited)
That first pause transition is one of around 20 screen transitions, the rest will be updated soon. In the next version, the pause button will also cycle special effects across the whole screen, but they could occur per-box (rather than whole screen) (and more than one could occur simultaneously). And, I've got the secret panels from Wolfenstein 3D working too.

oh i can't wait for the update!

Updated - pause transitions and secret panels work. I added four clearly-marked not-so-secret panels at the starting area to play with, and all the original secret panels from the original game are implemented too.
FYI - in a real game, levels would be arranged to ensure secret panels couldn't open towards you, but I think it looks cool to leave in this demo as-is, it provides a great sense of how much work goes into the 3D illusions.
Next up - polishing doors and secret panels. The doors and secret panels continue to move during pause, and the sounds need updated, and the volume doesn't decrease with distance.
After that's done, it's on to in-game sprites and 3D objects.

when will full version come in

I don't plan to create a faithful port of Wolfenstein 3D. (That might change in the future.) Based on feedback, the latest-and-greatest display system is here (You'll need to open the Nov. 29 version to see it though.) And, I'm taking a break from ray casting at the moment to give was8bit some time to develop the item interactions and maze walls.
I suppose I could finish the pause and sprite projection stuff now, but honestly I'm just working on stuff that's more fun.
