Digimind/rrrola: Could one of you masterminds maybe share his sources with us? That would be extremely cool.

Although probably us mortals won't grasp how it works anyway. :)

i find two questions particularly intriguing:

-how is the maze generated? seems fairly complicated, with multiple layers, tunnels, corners and such.

-how is camera movement calculated? i figure it's maybe quite simple: constant-speed y-rotation, y pos maybe just goes up and down at fixed speed, and x/z movement is also cleverly constructed in some way.

camera path does seem to vary slightly with each iteration. it never touches the wall anyway which i find particularly amazing.

incredible piece of work.

Re: sources.
Even first c++ version is unreadable due to optimization, so short explanation would be better.

Re: rendering.
There is not much choice for 3D with a free camera in 256b world, so raytracing is used.

Re: camera movement.
Camera position is a Lissajous 3D curve with 2 sinewaves. Camera direction is calculated as a derivative of position to always look forward.

Re: maze generation.
There were no bytes left for maze generation so I had to reuse camera movement code. I just initialized 3D array to mark all cubic cells as non-empty. Then during precalculation I send the camera through this array for thousands of iterations and mark each visited cell as empty. Since camera path varies slightly with each iteration, it clears a lot of space. In this way there is also a nice property during rendering that camera never touches the wall - automatically.
