3D Programming in SB

[litdev]

I am surprised by the 3D capabilities of Small Basic that SB received from the LD extension. 
It seems to me that if I see a few more such expressive examples of 3D applications, then I will also have different ideas so that I can test myself in 3D programming. 

To be honest, most of the effort writing this kind of thing is all the extra bits that make a game such as intro screen, scoring, levels, level editor (VLFW776.000-0), testing etc. 

There is also a bit of learning about the basics of 3D - You can see I just use squashed cubes and used spheres which are single commands in SB - you then build objects by having several of them (created and positioned in a for loop).  You need to understand the 3D coordinate system X,Y,Z how to position and point things like objects, lights and the camera and that's about it.

As I say, if you look at the code, the actual 3D stuff is minimal, the rest is just making a game around it.  I am very happy to help you guys get started with this (this is what I hope this forum can be for) - the process is to create small test programs to gain understanding first, just like with your AI game or ZS's extension - its step by step and the magic comes when you put all the little bits together!

Ideally, if a few of you are interested we can start at the beginning and work on 3D, physics or game design.  Otherwise I can only share bits of code occasionally which I don't think gets things so much further forward and may put people off.

How about a 'game of life' in 3D using Elzaimer's idea (https://litdev.uk/mybb/showthread.php?tid=95)?
