*cough* .......?binary space partitionning tree??

Where might one go to learn more about a, ?binary space partitionning tree?; more from a general, language independent point of view?

Is this just a standard binary tree used to divide coordinates into visible and not-visible groups?

And by,??cue? calculations? are you referring to, ?queue? calculations?

Sorry, I?m just trying to extract the engineering concepts out of your raycasting rant.

I take it you?ve gone to school for this. Perhaps you could recommend a good, general, software engineering book that you?ve read before. After I suck the life out of said book I will be more than happy to discuss raycasting implementations with you.

InI: what a nice thread

first, I've just "benchmarked" my 3D TOMB 2 raycasting engine, here comes the results:

the test machine was an Athlon XP1800+, Win2k, 512Mb SDram, IE6.0
The slices are 4 pixels wide and 256 pixels high ( that's the maximum visible height ).
The maze was always the same 16x16 grid and mapped with 2 textures of 16x16.
I did 3 turn around in a row with different numbers of slices:

I've improved the COLLISION test and texture management and benchmarked 3D TOMB II engine with 8 textures of 16x16.

Dang! That's a nice site, about 2 years ago I would have killed to find a site like that....

Know any sites like that for java?
