Does anyone want to make an actual ONLINE MULTIPLAYER KAHOOT IN SCRATCH? its easy
sure, but here isn't the place
Yeah btw if we are talking about 3d then I made a 3d engine (not 3d maze or anything) real, kinda, I’m talking about 3d frames here but making Sonic 2 Special Stage is the easiest choice to make pseudo-3d game!
First, get 2 sprite sheets, one for the characters and frames and stuff, other for the ground.
Get the sprite sheets here:
1. https://www.spriters-resource.com/mobile/sonicthehedgehog2/asset/64781/
2. https://www.spriters-resource.com/sega_genesis/sonicth2/asset/70829/
(Not spamming I’m just showing links to help peope if you are scratch team and read this)
Second make the start sign, get it from the first sprite sheet, add the following code:
when green flag clicked
set y to (189)
repeat until <(y position) = [0]>
change y by (-5)
if <(y position) < [0]> then
set y to (0)
wait (3.92) secs
hide
end
end
I’ll tell more since I’m exhausted of typing
Now to make actual character controls, make a sonic or other character sprite use this code:
when green flag clicked
show
point in direction (90)
go to x: (0) y: (-88)
when I receive [Show character v]
show
Why: y needs to be -88 (depends on track shape but this is recommended to avoid fencing) and show character is for jumping animation, I’ll tell it later
Movement (in character sprite):
when green flag clicked
forever
if <<key [up arrow v] pressed?> or <key [w v] pressed?>> then
broadcast [Jump v]
end
if <<key [right arrow v] pressed?> or <key [d v] pressed?>> then
broadcast [Go to the right v]
end
if <<key [left arrow v] pressed?> or <key [a v] pressed?>> then
broadcast [Go to the left v]
end
end

This is 3d, its just pseudo but it’s still the same thing

Ok….. but yeah at least it’s like the real game And also if anyone needs help of it go to my topic on show and tell: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/830902/?page=1#post-8742044

when green flag clicked
if <(project) = (good enough)> then
set [motivation v] to [100000000]

I think it uses raycasting for detecting collisions or hit scans, something like that, and not rendering. not sure tho

Btw sm64 uses polygon raytracing I think

No, it uses raster my friend. basically drawing 3D polygons to a 2D screen with zbuffering

Yeah I thinked of raytracing because of 3d Minecraft in scratch and polygons

yes I believe in bowling if you look at the side bumpers and walls you'll see that they are quite clearly raytraced, and I'm surprised they aren't more polished actually.

It's actually not raytraced my friend, it's basically fake reflections that almost all modern games today use, it's a very cool trick

oh okay. Not trying to start an argument, I believe you

could you explain that method to me a little?

I'm using a method were you layer objects on top of each other to make the illusion of being 3D(I've seen people make versions of this method that actually do have camera rotation, but I don't know how do too do that myself.) I've just started implementing some of the wall collision.

Not if you use DX12's raytracing feature in your games. But keep in mind by doing so means losing out on userbase whose hardware can't handle hardware raytracing…

I'll have to make a note of this.
