Generic 3D Game Engine
A basic 3D environment with a first-person POV
Despite being more graphically advanced than my 2D game engine, it isn't as well developed. Its original name was "3DWorld" because it simulated a 3-dimensional environment -and that's pretty much all it does. You can move around, pick up a cube, and jump using typical FPS controls. I started to implement the ability to shoot but it's still incomplete. This project has been put on hold in order to focus on my 2D game engine. -
