Did anyone create a 3D game with the basic functions instead of ASM?

Did anyone create a 3D game with the basic functions instead of ASM? Not as far as i know .. although it depends a little on your definition of 3D* For instance, something like Ballz should be possible in BEX if you're careful enough. *The very first thing i created in BEX years ago could be considered 3D. Keep in mind that the MegaDrive only has a 7.67Mhz CPU .. so creating a 3D program / pipeline that the MegaDrive can churn through at a reasonable framerate is a challenge even when you're coding in assembly. |

And what in combination with the Sega CD? Obviously i would need to learn alot, but something in the lines of Doom? I know the 32x can handle that after seeing this demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F96yVYxNWPIBut then again, these guys are really hardcore and my favourite defunct company. And being that good will never succeed in Basic. But i am just curious what we are looking at here. |

And what in combination with the Sega CD? Same thing. BasiEgaXorz doesn't have any built-in commands / functions to take advantage of the SEGA CD co-processors. |

Awww crap! So what is the use of buying an sega mega cd then? Only for the audio? That sucks donkey dick!

What about the 32x? Does BasiEgaXorz support that?

What about the 32x? Does BasiEgaXorz support that? Sort of .. you can compile a 32X ROM and use the 32X VDP, but your program will still only run on the MegaDrive. For fully fledged 32X development devster made Wal-MARS X .. but that uses / requires SH-2 & 68K assembly ( instead of BASIC ). |

So in your opinion, what games would be possible from this video All are possible .. but i suspect you'll only be able to achieve a acceptable framerate with a couple of them ( Ballz, Devil's Course, John Madden Football, Vectorman ). Of course you can easily remedy this using a bit of inline assembly for performance critical parts ... but in case you're keen on only using BASIC 100% exclusively, maybe 3D games for MegaDrive shouldn't be your field of work to begin with. How experienced are you developing 3D ( software ) engines anyway? |

It was just a simple question. It would be foolish to start creating a 3D game which nobody actually has done properly. I am more keen on creating a game like Solar Jetman (nes) for the megadrive, as wel as a river city ransom "remake".
No experience on the 3D engines and not burning my hand into it. Just very curious how far one can push this software.

Alright, good  I am more keen on creating a game like Solar Jetman (nes) for the megadrive, as wel as a river city ransom "remake". Those are definitely more feasible using only BASIC than something like Virtua Racing  |
