The Amateur 3D Game Engine

[Ñuño_Martínez]

Hi.  Long no see you.  I have a busy live...

And part of the busy live is this:  I've published version 1.0 of my Amateur 3D Game Engine.

This engine is based in the one I wrote for my 2^nd PGD Challenge back in 2012. Such engine was written in about one single week and was pretty buggy because the hurry and also because Allegro.pas 5 was in a very early development state in that moment.  I've fixed a ton of bugs, changed a bit the API and added some basic functionality.

Right now the engine is very simple and lacks a lot of functionality.  I have a roadmap but since I'm working on this in my free time it will take time.  Note that the engine is Amateur so it won't be as big or advanced  than other engines.  If you need something professional, please use Castle Game Engine;  the latest releases are really good.

At the moment you can get the engine from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/a3dge/files/1.0/

Someday I'll have a proper webpage.  You can see some screenshots at the summary page.

Thanks for sharing!

I've tryed to run the examples projects but got always an "Access violation" error at this line:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.     fDisplay := al_create_display (lWidth, lHeight);

I've previously installed liballegro5-dev on a pc running Xubuntu 24.04.2 LTS and Lazarus 4.2.
There is something else I must do to property setup the pc?
Thanks,
Domenico

That's weird.  Maybe it's the Allegro version.  Remember it should be 5.2.6.  I'm not sure if it would work with newer versions. (I know I should update Allegro.pas to work with newer versions but I have little time  ).

Good thing you're so loyal to Allegro!

Good thing you're so loyal to Allegro!

To be sincere, not so much lately.    I mean, I dislike the new API (version 5) a lot.  I actually started a project to replace it but it is too big and I have too much projects opened right now.

3D is too complex for me, I don't have enough mathematical knowledge for that. may be in my next life! 
Thanks for sharing.

[Ñuño_Martínez]

Actually I think this may be a good way for introduce yourself to 3D maths...

I've downloaded your code and will spend my free time on it... when I'll finish my current 2D game! 
Thank you Ñuño

You're welcome.

Note that a 3D game is just a 2D game with extra space.

I was making a game for a tutorial and I've found a few little small easy to workaround bugs, so I made bugfixing releases.  Two, actually.

You can get from the brand new web site I made here.
