I played around a lot with that engine "back in the day". Modded a Power Glove to hook up to the parallel port (I also did the same for the Amiga), and I used a slightly modified VictorMaxx Stuntmaster for an HMD when it became available.
I had fun playing the little game you made in this engine. I think its very impressive (heck, you should throw it up on github). There used to be a thing in the late 1990s and early 2000s of something called the "3D Engine List" that listed all the 3D engines in various languages and whatnot (both open source and commercial). Eventually, that all went away for one reason or another. I kinda wish it still existed. When someone shares such work, it always brings a smile to my face. So thank you for sharing your work with us!
- badsectoracula 9y agoI actually had 3D Construction Kit and Freescape engine in mind when i made this. I've heard of REND386 before, but i had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I never managed to use it though. I downloaded the code from the site, but it seems to require a version of Borland C++ i do not have. I might try to "port" it to BC5 at some point. EDIT: i forgot. The 3D Engines List (i suspect you mean [1]) lives in DevMaster's DevDb [2]. DevDb was originally just engines and IIRC its initial data was from another database site "3dengines.net" from around 2004, which itself sourced the 3D Engines List.
