- Welcome to the I3D (Interactive 3D) tool kit demo
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- I3D is a C tool kit that provides a high speed, texture mapped, 3D virtual
- environment. I3D can be used to create MS-DOS or MS Windows applications.
-
- I3D has been tested with the Borland C/C++ v3.1, Microsoft C/C++ v8.0,
- and Watcom C/C++ 32 bit v9.5 compilers.
-
- Due to the highly interactive nature of I3D, it requires a 386 or better
- processor and a VGA or SVGA graphics card to run. Windows performance is
- directly proportional to the speed of the Windows display driver.
-
- I3D supports the following features:
-
- * High speed texture mapping of walls, floors and ceilings.
-
- * Animated texture maps.
-
- * Transparent textures.
-
- * 64 x 64, 128 x 128, or 256 x 256 pixel texture maps.
-
- * Reading of PCX 256 color files.
-
- * Variable window size.
-
- * Multiple windows.
-
- * Compatible with 3rd party graphics libraries.
-
- * Moving objects.
-
- * Actor objects that look different from various viewing angles.
-
- * Collision detection (viewer with walls, objects with viewer).
-
- * Joystick, keyboard and mouse support for navigation.
-
- * Pick (hit) detection.
-
- * Full screen 320x200 VGA mode in Windows.
-
- * Large world maps, world maps can be edited as bitmaps.
-
- * Look up / look down (Page Up / Page Down keys in demos).
-
- * Full C source code to demo programs.
-
- * Printed manual.
-
- * Easy to use C API (see I3DKIT.H for examples)
-
- * No royalities.
-
-
- Running the Demos:
-
- To run the DOS demo, simply type DEMO_DOS <RETURN> at the command line.
-
- To run the Windows demo, run windows and then use the file manager to locate
- DEMO_WIN.EXE. Double-click on DEMO_WIN.EXE to run it.
-
- (You may need to move the DISPDIB.DLL to your Windows directory if you are
- running Windows 3.0.)
-
- (If you do not already have the IBM Joystick driver for Windows loaded,
- un-zip the IBMJOY.ZIP file and follow the instructions.)
-
