X-Wing on Commander X16 | 3D-Render | 8bit Computer | Star Wars

Edited livestream from 2023-11-03 with pictures! The Link to the source-code is in the description below.
I ported my BASIC 3D-Engine 2.5 from the Commodore Plus/4 to the Commander X16 Emulator (8-bit guys dream computer) and try to render a X-Wing from Star Wars on it.
Just a fun live-stream to show the capabilities of the BASIC on 8bit computers in general!
Thank you for watching!

It's amazing that a movie and a computer from over 40 years ago still engages us. Well done.

Thank you for the good words. Goid things are timeless, no matter how old in my opinion :)

Once we get a port of a basic compiler it will run a lot faster

[@GeorgesChannel]

Its mostly slow because it reads from disk due memory limitations

[@Lion_McLionhead]

Amazing it's all in BASIC. The modern prevalence of interpreted languages must have made BASIC more attractive on the commodore than it was.

[@GeorgesChannel]

Thank you for the comment. I think interpreted BASIC is perfect for beginners and still relevant.

Kudos to Basic

Not sure if has something to do with german keymapping or localization on the emulators, but in your BASIC code (for the c64 and plus 4 version) on line 60 and 700 where you open the vertex.seq and planes.seq files, there seems to be a comma before the file extension. Like "vertex,seq" instead of "vertex.seq". The files didn't read properly when i tried it, but after i changed comma to dot/period in the filenames it worked. This is in the c64 and plus 4 versions. In the code for X16 the filenames seems to be correct.

Hello, thank you for trying out! The code behaves differently when loading from emulator and from real hardware with sd2iec drive in my case on the commodores. What you actually did is, adding the seq suffix to the filename, which is always a good idea. the ",seq" is the second parameter, which is is the filetype of the file you try to open. Seems to be optional, because it worked for you. The right way to do it would be open8,8,12,"vertex.seq,seq,read" or "open8,8,12,"vertex,seq,read" depending on the enviroment. I mentioned this wierd behaviour in one of my tutorial videos.

so,how to put the x16 games in the x16 emulator on pc?
