Check 3D TOMB II's mini site for more informations and the hall of fame.

The controls are X,C to strafe, SPACE to fire, the arrows to move around.

Due to a bug in Safari and Gecko's handling of the zIndex, the game doesn't work as expected in Safari, FireFox and co. But it works like a charm, on a semi-recent computer, in IE and Opera.

Hope you'll like it.

Ok, that was no JS, sorry :)

As mentioned, it has some minor problems in Firefox. But it's still pretty impressive! Yet a bit slow on my machine. :)

Cool. It's slow, but that's what javascript gives you.

I've tested it in some browsers for Windows:
FX2 - Not working correctly and slow
Opera 9 - Working and slow
IE7 - A bit slow
IE6 - Faster
IE5.5 - Looks as the best in speed

Great work! It's too hard though ;-)

Damn... wolf5k in color and in 4k!!

And the coding is truly solid, not like most js demos which must crash on at least one of the 4 Big Browsers...

the only bitch about this is... why the compression just to reach 4k? would've been as good if it were 32k....

I'll be a bit picky here and hand out the first BB Image.
It's a bit slow on IE, no wonder considering the speed of my computer. However, what annoys me is how badly it works on Opera. I couldn't get the prod to run at all. When I launched it, it just hung up and didn't even start the game. (I waited 30 seconds or so, where IE started within 5 secs) This is also bugging me considering who you are. :p
Also, tomæs has a point. The clipping errors are just not ugly (Which per se would've been excused for in a 4k) but were also annoying because it made focus on the wrong zombie.

It's not that I'm dissing this prod, I know the time you spent on it and so on, it's just that occasionally even excellent prods need a BB Image or two.

On the positive side: I extracted and looked at the code, and I see some good things there. ;)
Also, about the compression: Did you hand-compress it, or did you write/use an analyzer for that purpose?

Thanks for the warm feedback! It feels good to see my efforts were not vain.


keops: he he I didn't tick the 4k category just for fun ;)


texel + Manwe: Thanks for testing in various browsers. I only tested on PC using IE6, IE7, OP9+, FF2, MZ1.7.13 and SF3beta. AFAIR the game ran at 10-15fps in IE5.5 on my 1.5 Ghz computer back in 2002-2003


psonice: Define "full version". I could make a similar game using more modern techniques to have better graphics, but I'd rather spend that time on a new JavaScript demo.


Skate: Glad someone mention the floor and ceiling mapping. That's the whole point of this engine.


nitro1k01: :\ Opera's window probably didn't have focus, so it didn't received your keypress events. That happens to me some times.

I know about the clipping issues, but can't think of a way to fix to them. Thy're due to the Z buffer and the relative imprecission of the floor-casting ( it's not ray-casting + floor-casting, but just floor-casting as it is more size efficient )

*hint* you don't really have to focus on a specific zombie. Play hide and run with them ;)

Myself I don't know how much time I spent on 3D TOMB II, but since 2002 it certainly adds up to thousand(s) of hours writing several engines, JS packers, graphics, ...

I wrote 3 JS packers, but finally used, and sized optimized, MemTronic's JS packer because it handles well the characters with an ASCII code > 127. Nonetheless, as you probably saw, the code is written and tweaked to be more packer-friendly.

What exactly do you like/dislike about the game or code ?


any FireFox users: Give the game a try in IE, or Opera. It's much faster there and don't suffer from Z buffer/index issue.

Slower than Mood Preview on my C64. The turnaround movement could have been a bit faster. Bot otherwise cool!

p01: The hangup was not due to lost focus, for sure. It made all of Opera totally unresponsive, and the prod didn't even render one frame. (Black page except for the static HTML elements)

I tried v2 now, and it stops at the following error:
Inline script compilation
Syntax error while loading: line 1 of inline script at file://localhost/C:/demo/3D_tomb_II_v2/3D_TOMB_II.htm :

Oh yeah, forgot. My version is the following if it helps.
Version 9.20

System Windows XP
added on the 2007-07-05 00:36:38 by nitro2k01 nitro2k01
I use the exact same public build here, and it works fine.
What if you replace the eval($) by prompt('foo',$) and replace the compressed code in the .htm by the uncompressed one you get in the prompt. Is there a JS error ? where ?
added on the 2007-07-05 01:54:59 by p01 p01
Also some people tried the game at work, using various OS and builds and none reported such problem.

I just downloaded the ZIP file, and tested it in 9.20, no problem. Sorry.
added on the 2007-07-05 02:06:41 by p01 p01
good coder pr0n but the game itself is quite too slow to be playable, even in ie.. sorry p01..
sucks added on the 2007-07-05 15:08:54 by psenough psenough
p01: The error happens already in the split or hte string evaluation. (Not the eval statement, but the engine's interpretation of the string)
However, I used FF to decompress the code, and then put it in <script></script>, which worked ok in all three browsers.

;) yeah, sorry about the speed.
Although a lot of optimizations and testing on my side, FireFox really chokes on the 5yo one zillion DIV technique.

But it's a breeze in IE or Opera.

If I were to do such a game today I'd ditch IE and use a more modern technique like 2D Canvas were doing the floor mapping is a lot less expensive, and more precise.

as said many times above, I started 3D TOMB II in 2002, the techniques available were much more brutal than what we have today. Therefore it needs a blazing fast rendering engine : give it try in IE, Opera or Safari.
