3D/!Read2nd!
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

************************************** **** ACORN USER 3-D Games Articles *** ************************************** File : !Read2nd! The AUARay application contains all of the updates discussed in this month's article. It will run very slowly on most machines, do not panic, this is an early version running in a very large screen window. NEXT MONTH WILL HAVE VARIABLE SCREEN WINDOWS!!! Like Wolfenstein 3D, we will have a variable size to speed up the program on slower computers. StrongARMs run it quite nicely already, and RISC PC owners should be alright. ALSO NEXT MONTH will be command line arguments which alter the engine's behaviour. A list of next month's topics: Doors Objects (hopefully hehe :-) Score/Graphics at the bottom of the screen More that I'll keep secret for now. Look ups will be loaded in from disk See you Greg Scott.
