Orion Engine : 3D Game Engine

We should get all optimisations set first too.

Right now the process is low-level:

Source code -> Tokenize -> Bytecode -> Run

Later it will be high-level:

Source code -> Lexer (tokenize but more steps) -> Parser -> AST -> Constant Folding -> Constant propagation -> Bytecode -> Run

This is why I decided to make a low-level version first. High-level is very hard, especially AST and Constant Folding/Propagation.

Okay. Anyway, know the problem to the sorting? It’s 100% not a normal sorting issue (triangle average). It would cause bugs, but a very minimal amount of them. Triangles overlapping from the back should be impossible, but it’s possible from the side.

alr, you should try debugging.

I don’t really care all that much.

You should do some research; in your example, you have to check and return a value from a variable twice. In the other one you have to do it once. What's so hard to understand? I have optimised many engines, and this is a very basic optimisation.

Should I just take on all the 3D by myself? I feel bad, because I’m essentially taking on 70% of everything.

i need to learn 3D more, I'm in high school and still dont know how to do 3D well, its embarassing.

I’m probably multiple years younger than you are, actually. I just studied a few years ahead in maths, physics and 3D.

And plus, I know how embarrassing it can feel. But, being at the start only means you’ve got a longer, and more fun journey than everyone else, so just take it slow and enjoy it.

I am going to wait for the editor to be complete, like after fixing bugs, so I can integrate a script editor. I unironically have multiple programming languages, but I have to choose one.
