OpenPXT 3D Extension 1.0 :ice: :hammer_and_wrench:

Have you ever wanted to make a 3D game easily but been unable to do so? Well, now you can, all in the comfort of Makecode Arcade!

What is OpenPXT?

OpenPXT is the first 3D wireframe extension for Makecode Arcade. It lets you create your very own 3D game in Javascript or (untested) Python.

Will it work in block mode?

Kind of… A lot of the things are broken which is the thing but if you switched between block mode and Javascript for some things then sure it’ll be fine. Just don’t expect it to stay fully within block mode.

Does it perform well and not lag?

The extension runs well, and shouldn’t break down easily as long as you aren’t using over 60 particles at a time.

What features are there?

You’ll need to check out the ReadMe.MD for the full documentation but essentially some of the biggest features are things like billboards (2D sprites in a 3D space), custom meshes, and camera rotation.

Is it fully finished?

No, I will likely make updates over the months for it, and some things are placeholder.

(For example, the sphere mesh is currently nothing like a sphere because I got lazy…)

How do I import the extension?

Simply copy the link at the top of this post, and then paste it into the extension search bar.

Footage in GIF doesn’t reflect performance in actual extension. GIF format will usually make video files appear choppy and laggy.
