Could someone explain to me the basics of making a 3D game(FPS - first person shooter)? I want to do it in fx/afx Lua (when it comes out).

If you speak french:

On this link you can find introduction for beginners.

Re: Doing it in lua: There;s absolutely no wayyou'd be able to get above maybe 2 fps in lua. You have to do this in C, preferably asm.

You may want to check out this wikibook on 3d engine design. You could also try to get in touch with AaroneusTheGreat from tifreakware, author of Dead on Arrival (A 3d FAT engine for the TI-89). He could probably give you some tips on what he did.

I was looking at the FAT documentation, and I came across this Raycasting Tutorial. It has lots of information on the subject, and walks through how something like this would be done.

I was going to do it in luaFX, would that be too slow? If so, I am learning C slowly but surely so I could try it in C too.

If you think an fps of 2 is fine, then go for it.

I played a BASIC 3D maze game (wireframe) and it had about 2fps.

You weren't shooting anything, were you.

Ah, I see. Ok, I guess I'll do it in C. And thanks for the resources!

'Welcome. I'd like to get involved in something like this once I get my cross-compiling setup set up.

I'm going to wait until the C tutorial that AHelper (and I think someone else) is making is done before I start any big projects.
