.kkrieger (Chapter 1) - A 3D game in only 100 KB !!!

A small 3D FPS game in only 100 Kb with one big and beauty level. Your task is to shoot everything, that moves. Game has about 5 enemies, and 5 different types of weapons. Graphics is really amazing (something like Quake 3).
On other hand, you had to have at least something like 1,5 MHz processor, 512 MB Ram and a great graphics card. Just try, you won’t believe it has only 100 KB. (it will unpack into your computer memory )

P.S. Authors want to make a full game from it, but it seems, it wouldn’t be done

AS3: Parsing .3ds file 2 - Rotating cubes

So how I swear to Keith Peters I’ve tried rotating model. with Octopus it was hard on my 1Ghz Athlon, but there is rotating but not smooth So I just parse single Cube, then copy it to more Cube instances and rotate them.

Here are examples:

• 5 rotating cubes 36 FPS on 1Ghz Athlon
• 8 rotating cubes 25 FPS on 1Ghz Athlon
• 12 rotating cubes 12 FPS on 1Ghz Athlon

There is 3 examples because of testing FPS. This is just moveTo, lineTo API, i will try if drawing off screen, copying to bitmap, and copyPixels to screen will be faster.

Another point, I should check faces, and render just ones which are visible to user.

Enjoy.

AS3: Parsing .3ds file - Octopus

Yes, it’s awesome In AS3 you can just get .3ds file from 3d max, parse it, and draw it on screen.
You can see it on example .3ds file - Octopus. There more the 16000 faces, and it is rendered in less then 200 ms on my machine

Source code is dirty and it’s part of my AS3 project FlashLife, which will be open source, so you will have source available in some time, but I can not say now, when. It is in early state

Enjoy.
