I'm torn between the current sprite planets and using solid circles (with light/dark sides like on Starglider 2). Circle rendering is on my to do list, so perhaps I should get those in and see how it looks...

BTW, there's some bad popping on the ships because I forgot to adjust the size parameters! Will fix that for the next video.

Funny thing is, I'm going to optimise out the offending code later this evening when I add proper code for handling and sorting multiple 3D objects.

There's a way to use a multiply to do a divide, so I'm using that.🙂

I already have my own 3D model editor for building low-poly models (was going to use it for an Amiga A1200 Thunderhawk-like game), so that'll come in handy me thinks.🙂

It's very satisfying to single-step through the PC version while doing the same for the Spectrum Next and see that the numbers are identical.😎

The prototype is all integer maths, and using as fewer bits as I can get away with.

I'm a witch who can switch from 6502 to Z80.😉
