# About
This is a little technical demo of a voxelspace renderer written in C99.
It was created for testing purposes and private research only.
Currently I cannot say how it will develop in the future.
This demo provides five different worlds taken from the game Comanche
developed by Novalogic.
- World 1: pyramid
- World 2: desert
- World 3: winter
- World 4: canyon
- World 5: rocky
You can select them by passing program arguments.
Have fun!
# Requirements
* MorphOs: any MorphOs system should work.
Tested it on a Mac Mini G4 Silent Upgrade with MorphOs 3.19.
You will need a 640x480x8 screen mode.
* AmigaOs:
Tested on Amiga 4000T, 060, Cybervision 64/3D, AmigaOs 3.2.3 and
Amiga 1200, 060, AGA, AmigaOs 3.2.3.
AGA version requires c2p.library from aminet
(see https://aminet.net/dev/misc/c2plib.lha).
# Usage
Please start the binary
(voxelspace_mos_gcc, voxelspace_060, voxelspace_060_c2p, voxelspace_030_c2p)
from your Amiga shell.
To get a complete arguments list of the program, please start it with '-h'.
You can quit the program by hitting ESC.
On Amiga with gfx card, you should use voxelspace_060.
Screen resolution: 320x240x8.
On Amiga with AGA only, you should use voxelspace_060_c2p
(or voxelspace_060_c2p).
Screen resolution: 320x256x8
## Program arguments
voxelspace [ARGUMENTS]...
arguments:
-h, --help print help message and exit
-w, --world <number> select world 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (default 1)
-d, --demo enable demo mode
-v, --version print version
## Controls
w move up
s move down
a strafe left
d strafe right
cursors navigate forward/backward and turn left/right
## Options
ESC quit
F1 enable/disable show fps
F2 max detail
F4 decrease render distance
F5 increase render distance

- 0.9.2 2026-02-21
- fixed screenmode requester
- fixed stack issue
- slightly speed improvements
- add 68030 executable (no fpu, AGA)
- 0.9.1 2025-10-31
- changed AGA/C2P resolution to 320x256
- 0.9 2025-06-05

- add simple font rendering and add first font "mia1"
(thanks to my daughter)
- implemented showing frames per second
- 0.5 2020-11-22 8bit release
- rendering in 8 bit, which should be faster
