HOW. Just HOW, did you make the enemy sprite?!?!?! ---

The spaceship is not a sprite, it’s a 3D model using realtime perspective rendering and shading, lovingly drawn pixel by pixel every frame 🙂 If you’re curious, check out the _ShipModel_ class in `main.ts` which has the 3D coordinates of the corners and the faces connecting them. The actual drawing happens in the renderer code in `triangle.ts`. In short: - sort the drawn objects (spaceships and asteroids) and handle them in far-to-near order - for the spaceship model, determine the correct order in which to draw its parts. It’s a BSP tree where planes split it into convex sub-models. - for each part, use a transform matrix for orientation/position and a perspective transform to get screen coordinates for each corner (vertex) - use clipping to cut away any parts of faces that extend beyond the screen edges - convert the face polygons to trapezoids with vertical edges - add the trapezoids to a list sorted by X (horizontal) starting position - once all parts have been added, go through the trapezoid list and draw vertical lines for each X position of each trapezoid, in back-to-front order ---

I didn’t use Blender, just graph paper for 3D model construction and math. (I still struggle with the Blender user interface, I seem to forget the little bits I learned each time and need to start over.) ---

Im currently working on a “app” in Arcade that allows the visualization of 3d coordinants that are drawable (for small models), and with a button that prints the places coordinants in the console log! I’m just making this project for fun, but you may be able to use it once it’s finished! ---
