I know it is hard or near impossible for BYOND to do like 3-D games, but what about like "fake" 3-D games? A game that comes to mind is "Bards Tale". I was wondering this because I was playing Bards Tale today for DOS on my PC and I got to thinking it might be cool to do something like that for BYOND.

Well since it is under design philosophy I was hoping for more along the lines of suggestions on how to do it.

You could try asking the maker of the game on how to do so, maybe use it as a base?

I don't remember who did it, but somebody did have a 3D maze library or demo on the hub at one point.

You need to know about Raycasting and trigonometry. Iv'e done it before but it can get very slow especially if you want to get players playing online with you. So I recomend that if you want to create something that looks a little 3D or is 3D use another language. But if you must do it on BYOND here are things that might help you or show that it is possible to do.

Demo:

This is probally what you are looking for.

This is a amazing game, for the multiplayer part Gaku uses Client Side which he released a demo out on how to do also. But single player is just a great with less lag.
