FPS (Wolfenstein, etc.) for ZHD

dgj5 · 10-08-2009, 04:49 PM

Ok so im not very good at making games and i dont understand anything about the programs. If anyone has already made some type of first person shooter can you link the file here. if someone could make a game such as get a simple file for wolfenstein or something (not to complex but not too simple) and port it to the zune hd i would be very thankful.

That won't work, theres not a 3D SDK (yet), and this belongs in the game requests forum

I've played a Doom port to a TI-84 calculator before. Being an FPS doesn't mean it's 3D.

Thats true. But still, this should be in the game requests section

FYI, this isn't a game per se, so it doesn't belong in the Zune HD games forum. It's in the right place now however.

Right - Doom uses raycasting, which is 3D-ish but can be rendered using 2D primitives. However, at least on the last-gen Zunes, the .NET Compact Framework (what XNA games run in) was too slow for decent framerates with raycasting even for a simple scene. It might be possible to pull it off but it would require a lot of optimization and hard work to get around the slowness of Microsoft's platform, and it probably isn't worth it.

Although we did have GoldChase
