Added **strafe** & **roll** to our #VoxelSpace code.

Tilting/rolling the camera as we turn left and right is similar to the movement of the original #Comanche game from 1992.

We published a Youtube video on #VoxelSpace!

Let's #code, together, a very simple version of the terrain rendering algorithm used by the MS-DOS game #Comanche, released by Novalogic in 1992. ❤️

Check it out! 🙂

holy shit i can add grass! :o

Here's the small #p5js sketch I used to visualize the #VoxelSpace 90° FOV left & right points as the camera angle changes.

/* Left */
plx = cos(a)*zfar + sin(a)*zfar;
ply = sin(a)*zfar - cos(a)*zfar;

/* Right */
prx = cos(a)*zfar - sin(a)*zfar;
pry = sin(a)*zfar + cos(a)*zfar;

Novalogic's #VoxelSpace engine evolved and had many iterations.

The first time we saw the engine was in 1992's Comanche: Maximum Overkill, running on 32-bit DOS. The engine also powered games like Comanche 2 and Werewolf vs. Comanche.

The next iteration was called "Voxel Space 2", running games like 1997's Armored First 2, Comanche 3 (attached), and Comanche Gold.

The third major iteration, "Voxel Space 32" was used in games like 1998's Delta Force, Armored First 3, and Delta Force 2.

New Youtube video on the #VoxelSpace Engine (Comanche Terrain Rendering).

This is one of my favorite algorithms ever! ♥️

We'll do a high-level overview of how the technique works, and write a super simple C implementation together.

I took my time with this one; this is *no* Tiktok video!

Enjoy! 🧉😉
