3D/!Read1st!
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.

File contents
************************************** **** ACORN USER 3-D Games Articles *** ************************************** PLEASE READ THIS FILE BEFORE USING ANY OF THE SOURCE CODE OR PROGRAMS ON THIS DISK. Contents: 1. "What's on this disk?" 2. "Note to STRONGARM users" 3. "Screen mode problems" 4. "NEW NEW GRAPHICS" 5. "Contacting me and OTHER ISSUES" ************************************** 1. "What's on this disk?" ************************************** PLEASE DEARCHIVE all the files before use (well its best to anyway). You will find the application !AUA_Attack: This new version of our engine is becoming more like the finished one, featuring: 1) Transparent walls 2) Doors 3) Variables Screen Sizes 4) Fixed Point Maths 5) Parameters passed to engine The source has been compiled with Easy C/C++, but it has not been compiled with Acorn C or GNU C. I believe that it may compile, but with warnings. A few warnings come up with Easy C. These relate to storage of char * pointers in an int[] array. This will be remedies in future versions of the engine. The program may take a long time on slower machines for now. About 20 fps on a RPC 600. The look up tables will take a while to generate also on slower machines, but soon I'll load them in from file instead. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS INSIDE THE RUN FILE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON ALTERING THE PARAMTERS PASSED TO THE ENGINE. The engine uses a brand new world file and set of graphics, each which comply with the shading (of sorts) system we established in article three. There is also one door and one windows. Letters A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I can be used to represent more tiles and also they might be used for objects next month. ************************************** 2. "Note to STRONGARM users" ************************************** StrongARM RISC PC owners may (like myself) find the program to crash with either a floating point error or some sort of instruction abort. This (thank god!) is nothing to do with the program, but some sort of irregularity in the StrongARM architecture which isn't spotted by the compiler. A patch is available from A.R.T, it can be found on one of the Clan Acorn membership discs and most likely from their web site: http://www.art.acorn.co.uk (note that this web site is soon to be updated so the address may be invalid). ************************************** 3. "Screen mode problems" ************************************** The !AUA_Attack application uses mode 13 to generate its view. On RISC PC machines (and some of those with RISC OS 3 or later) this screen mode is "letter-boxed". This can be corrected by changing the mode definition file on your computer. The changes made are specific to your own monitor, so it is best to either 1) Contact your dealer 2) Contact someone who knows their Acorns! 3) Contact me for advice. Note that the engine will still WORK, albeit a little "squished"! In this latest version screen banking is used, so make sure that enough screen memory is available. ************************************** 4. "New graphics and things" ************************************** The new graphics inside the !AUA_Attack application feature a various number of tiles differing in their style and pupose, such as a urinal, trees, bookshelf. More next month. ************************************** 5. "Contacting me and other issues" ************************************** THIS MONTH read the source code (and comments) for the many (albeit small) changes to the code, and also read the comments inside the applications !run file for details of passing parameters to the engine.
