A 3D engine aims to provide a set of functions for writing 3D (not raycasting as used in some FPS) games for GBA.

Features

  • Polygon-based (triangles) rendering.
  • Affine Texture-mapping.
  • Backface culling and Z-buffer sorting.
  • Skeletal animation support.
  • Import tools for Half-Life SMD file format (vertices and animation frames) which means that you can use well-known tools for 3d modelling, such as *MilkShape 3D, 3DS Max with Valve plugin, etc.
  • Uses GBA graphic Mode 3, 4 and 5 (thanks to subbie for this last one).
  • Makefiles for both Linux and Windows.
  • PogoShell plugin (thanks to Sean Reid).
