I am experimenting with making my own 3D graphics using only the 2D commands in DBC. I've already learned loads and hope you enjoy this game I made with it.

Catch the cubes as they fall by moving your square into the cube's shadow (using the arrow keys). Catch 3 in a row and you are "ON FIRE" your square will grow and make it easier.
Earn a BONUS 10pts for precision catches.

Use SHIFT and CONTROL to change the perspective, very cool

I've added a Time_Limit variable at the top, if you want play without a timer set this to 0.

OK it isn't strictly 3D as there are no vertices. Blah!

How many times are you gonna post this? Once in the challenges, once in the community thread, once in DB and now once in Code Snippets!

I never tell the truth.
That ain't a paradox.
I always tell lies is though.

I posted it in the challenge because it was my entry, in community to prove a point and in DBC board because?? and here because not everyone reads the DBC board.

True, but you could have left the community board 'untainted' (You know what I mean) by providing a link.
Ahh, it doesn't matter.

Not clogged up with old re-posted stuff.
If you don't know what the word means, tainted means something like marked or ruined in some way.

If you get it really accurate it turns yellow and you get 10pts!

Hmm, but neither are the '3D' commands in DB because its all simulated on a screen. Depends on how you look at it i suppose...

@BC
You are right, of course you can't have actual 3D on a screen because it is a 2D screen. But the DB 3D commands use hypothetical 3D coordinates, DB converts these coordinates into something that can be displayed on a 2D screen. So it is 3D, but not as we know it

My game on the other hand isn't true 3D, although I am using a 3D coordinate system, only the centre of my cubes are real 3D coordinates, the cubes vertices are inaccurate and not based on 3D coordinates. It was just easier to do it like that

@BC: shush. Or as my old Latin teacher (and nemesis) would have said... "SHHHHH! that's scottish for hush"
He meant using the 2D commands- don't be so pedantic


And I think beating your score would be a bit tricky man... how did you manage to get a whole 7 points? You're amazing!!!
