3d Rendering with floor and ceiling!

I’ve been making some tweaks to AqeeAqee’s wonderful raycasting extension and there’s a bit to fix yet on some of my lazy code but I wanted to show off what I’ve got so far, now with the ability to add a tilemap to be rendered as the game’s ceiling.

Also, I forgot to mention the floor rendering code is from MrFranko.

Ignore the framerate in the gif. I accidentally locked the gif FPS to 15 so there aren’t any glaring performance issues, at least on my end (though I exclusively use MakeCode on the pc).

I’m happy to share the extension code with permission from AqeeAqee unless they’d like to absorb some of these changes in their repo (though I remember reading they didn’t implement floor/ceiling rendering due to performance issues).

If anyone could let me know how to tag someone on the forums I’ll go ahead and do that.

I have been looking for something like this forever! Could you share it by chance? This is really cool.

I can’t seem to figure out how to tag the original authors of the pxt-raycasting and original floor rendering code, so while I figure out how to tag users, here’s the updated extension now with ceiling rendering (and MrFranko’s floor rendering) forked from AqeeAqee’s raycasting extension :

The project in the gif above can be achieved by simply using code from the ‘3d Render’ section like this image:

Note: the ceiling tilemap must match the width and height of the tilemap that is currently loaded or it will throw an error.

I’ve attached a link to the extension in another reply in this thread below :slight_smile:

I think i recall aqeeaqee talking about adding floor and ceiling in the future, but that was like a year ago. I hope this speeds up the process!

From the standpoint of a person who uses an iPad to code, I can confirm that this is 100% smooth :white_check_mark:

Thanks I’m very happy with the end result. :slightly_smiling_face:

If I remember correctly I think AqeeAqee said they were experimenting with it but the main issue was more to do with the performance impact on consoles like the meowbit.

To be honest, that’s likely still the case. I just use makecode exclusively on the pc so it’s less of an issue on my end.

This is AWESOME!!
So much progress right now in 3D Makecode, and this is stunning!
Where did you learn to do this / to code in general?

It’s definitely possible, but it would require some maths that are beyond me at this point in time. I’ve got a few personal projects in the pipeline outside of makecode but I’ll give it a swing when I have some time for sure.
