======== UPDATE 2010, April 5========

Interested in ray casting, I once wanted to port this C++ code to as3.

Don't have much time for that and have little faith in as3's speed, I haven't done that yet.

Then I knew adobe alchemy, played Mike's Doom port and decided to have a try using Alchemy.

A Wolfenstein 3D is to complicated for me but this simple code is just fine. Not used to C/C++ programing any more, I got lots and lots of warnings when compiling my swc. Luckily, it works in the end.


I first tried no textures, then one texture and finally full textures.

The swf looks all right but it is a mess behind what you see. Lots of work need to be done with the source code.

Besides this simple test, I also played with a voxel terrain engine (as3 port by me available here) and other old school effects using Alchemy.
