Attempt at 3D software rendering in C. (WIP)

cSoft3D

Formerly known as cube2

Note: Current project status could be characterized as "horrifying".
But since GitHub doesn't have an "unlisted" repo privacy setting ... I present to you: cSoft3D!
It's supposed to be a software 3d renderer, but right now it just renders a point cloud of vertices. But hey, it looks kinda cool!

Here's a live demo. It doesn't work on phones, and the monkey might be upside down.
Move the mouse around to rotate the monkey!

Building

You will need:

• Windows (or the patience to set things up on Linux yourself)
• Visual Studio 2022, or the Build Tools (for cl.exe in build-win.bat)
  MinGW probably works too, but didn't try yet.
  (Note: You need a different SDL download if you use MinGW!)
• Python (I use the Python one-liner server in run.bat)
• Brave Browser (not shilling for Brave but the path to the browser executable is hardcoded in run.bat... so just change it to whatever you use)
• Emscripten for the web build (build.bat)
• For the Windows build you will need SDL2-2.0.22, preferably at C:\dev\SDL2-2.0.22.
  (You don't need it for the web build: Emscripten ships with SDL built in! How cool is that?)

TODO

• Clean things up a bit (sorry)

• Update SDL version

• Wireframe!

• Flat shading!

• Textures!

• Linux build

• MinGW build

• Make the monkey not be upside down
