I made a 3d thing! [https://arcade.makecode.com/S05557-33904-28616-63370](https://arcade.makecode.com/S05557-33904-28616-63370) ---

Now I could make a Minecraft clone with this. ---

WOW this is actually quite well done!! The 3D projection works well, and I was suprised you even included moving up and down too 0\_0 impressive! The only glitch I’ve found is that if you walk forward into the block, the texture sort of explodes and the block flips upside-down. (It’s a pretty cool effect to see!) ---

that method is easy, but the rendering gets messed up sometimes. I don’t know how it works, but if it renders each cube one by one using math, then that kind of glitch happens. either make it only render cubes in front of the camera (though there may be other rendering glitches) or cast rays from the camera (I don’t expect you to know rust or what this means, but I would recommend [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztkh1r1ioZo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztkh1r1ioZo) . one thing to note is that you don’t want to do rays on constant step distances, but instead using math to find the next voxel). somebody please rewrite this. ---

This is what eventually happens to any project relying on an AI-generated backbone. I ran into similar issues when progressing my 3D engine past a ChatGPT tech demo. Your options are either learn JavaScript and research 3D engines, or wait until GPT-7 comes out. ---

Here’s the [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painter%27s_algorithm) that seemed to explain it well, I’m not sure how you would implement it because it depends on how you are storing and rendering the polygons! (If you have a link that would help) ---

New update! We now have collision with the cubes. Please don’t ask me why these glitches happen; I have absolutely NO idea. Any insight into them would be helpful, however. [Next page](https://forum.makecode.com/t/a-3d-thing/41142.md?page=2)
