Excel-ent 3D Engines
Published on
You may have guessed by the relatively few posts in the latter part of the week, half of RPS have been off having adventures. So I'm playing a little catch up, before sodding off again (Romania!). While if I had any sense I'd say something about the Sims 3's announcement, something in Gamasutra's latest has charmed me, so I'll do that instead. Insane Hungarian coder Peter Rakos as got a 3D engine working in Excel. That is, literally, a 3D engine. Watch!
He spends five pages of Gamasutra explaining how he did it, which I haven't read. He said something about sub-pixel grids and a sub-pixel grid once crashed into my house and killed my family, so it brought back bad memories. I hate you, sub-pixel grids.
