What I don't notice is my 84+ working noticeably faster or even as fast as my 89.

make a basic counting program and then maybee? it worked with a 83 + and a 83+ silver

That managed multiplayer 3d, so why not a multiplayer fps?

For a raycaster you could just decrease the resolution. Maybe cast only 16 rays or something. And put it on the homescreen with ASCII graphics! I think that would be really funny for an assembly game. It would be kind of like my Ionquest demo in basic, except good.

Lol, man! That thing's funny.

All you need to do is transmit the coordiantes of the player, the way they're facing(if the game supports that) and the direction and when they shoot.

I noticed the demos of the new grayscale 3d engine. If they can do greyscale, can't you do multiplayer in black and white? Isn't there enough speed for it? It doesn't seem it would take that much.

what about all the bullets flying through the air (unless they hit instantly) and whether the player is dead or not?

That's easy man. Bullets flying through the air might slow stuff down a bit, but instantly raytracing bullet hits is really easy on a raycasted game. Player health is only one more variable to send back and forth. That shouldn't be a problem at all.

Why do we always see all this self-evident talk and no code?

I don't do anything myself, but I ain't teasing people with details on mp fps. Plus I've released a var-height raycaster routine, that should get you guys going pretty well (I started from scratch with Gemini you know

).

Nobody can be arsed to port it, that's the problem...

As for multiplayer, all you'd have to do would be swap 8 bytes tops over the linkport each way. It'd be easier than single player as you wouldn't have to code any AI...

Var hieght? where is that? Your site looks slimed down.

Nah I should get back to mode7.

I'll provide the link libs, if anyone would actually code it...

Yet again:

I haven't put any TI83-things on my new site, here's the old one.

And how's mode7 going Jim?
