A software voxel renderer implemented using (mostly) integer arithmetic. A
few good ideas were divined from "Fast Voxel Traversal" by ... et al., which
describes a similar algorithm using floating point arithmetic.
Requires Python 2.5 or later (for ctypes). Uses Python to load the SDL lib,
set-up an SDL window, mmap itself into memory, then call itself. This little
trick uses 190 bytes, which I think is smaller than an equivalent binary could
be (though I'd love for someone to prove me wrong).
Python is an essential component of every Linux distro that I know of, and
pretty much every distro released in the last 4 years ships with version 2.5
or greater. In short, this should run on any updated Linux system with SDL
libs installed. I was debating releasing this as a 256b DOS intro, as I know
it would receive more attention as such, but there aren't enough intros for
Linux ;)
Greets go out to frag, w23, DOS coders everywhere, and my cat Artemis who
joined the great hunt in the sky last week. Keep it real hommies.
