like... a very simple allegro executable ends up about 760kB, and the 3d renderer i compiled which also uses GLM ended up bigger than a floppy... that's way bigger for a DOS game than i'd like

i think my first project will be done with Allegro since it makes video and input calls dead simple, but eventually i do want to work with either lighter frameworks or direct hardware access

one idea i had was a match-3 puzzle game, since i already started one for NES (but haven't finished yet bc i burnt out on trying to work with the PPU, something that wouldn't be a problem in DOS & i get to use a mouse) and there aren't many (to my knowledge) DOS bejeweled clones

like i super get the importance of starting off with a beaten-path project to really hone in your skills and stuff, but also i wanted to make something that would be more interesting than "ah, that's neat" and quickly forgotten

trying to think of simple-ish ideas to make into a finished polished DOS game that aren't just yet-another-tetris-or-snake-clone

sometimes i look in the mirror and think...... damn that's a good lookin dyke............

i like that i still use the same youtube channel to upload my stream VODs today as the ones that i did before becoming a vtuber because it gives me a cool backstory like daft punk where i just inexplicably became a robot one day #vtuber #ENVtuber

here you go https://github.com/Lana-chan/SmolSoft3D/tree/djgpp

and here it is in motion with mouse camera movement! for some reason it didn't seem to capture keyboard keys for strafe movement, but it gives you an idea about the performance

better!

textures (kinda)

it's absolutely atrociously slow

there are much faster ways to do 3d in DOS

heheHEEHEHEHAHAHAHA

(the dev env setup was already working as of the previous posts, but i was stubbornly trying to compile something much more complicated than this for a first try, which was a mistake)
