"took me a year to write" :p ...

i take it its not the first thing you ever wrote lol, i think avory or boyd or that guy from lester more have like 2 to 3 between prods, i havent played it yet due to life being half more than life and #stuff but i certainly need to give this a try. I ve seen this raycasting attempts at 3d "realtime" on the old machine that never died before and most of them end up a pixellated mess but this thing actually looks the part (at 8bit level) and seems to actually have a decent framerate .. i wont ask for the trade secrets, if i ever get nothing to do enough jcdis will certainly fill up a few sundays there but we would love to see you do more stuff that takes you a year to write, i bet im speaking for more than just me

maybe even something that took you two years to write :p

although it says a.i. assisted .. (?) does that mean the thing can do petscii graphics now (i asumme you dont mean it wrote your engine)

Ha! Let me know if you do try it. Re ai: Claude helped design one of the levels. I tried Claude Code on the code itself to see if it could optimize further than what I wrote for the main raycaster but in general its ideas were dead ends. A few people are saying first level is too hard .. I think while writing it / testing it I got too good so I didn't pick up on that...

i get that part , after playtesting your own level the 100th time you think "shouldnt this be a bit harder" :p ... claude as a level designer huh ... i think im gonna move to mars or something, i must be too old. Its looking really good, the first raycast-like (and thats actual petscii, right ?) that works as far as i know on the system. 

Looking forward to see more of your endeavours

ya I get it. And yes I believe this is the first raycaster on C64 in realtime

makes you wish you had a place at bullfrog in the 80-90s huh sometimes :p , maybe the demoscene has reached its end or hit a wall but it seems the gamescene on the c64 has never been so alive and the "original c64 first" titles are piling up in the last 5  years, think i was 9 or sth when that box came here and today i'm like 149 and a half and its still kicking (i actually have 2 from before the great collapse)

hope you dont burn out and keep doing what you like and bring us more awesome stuff !!!
