my first 3d game written in C

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]All right, hello.

[00:00:03]I created a game.

[00:00:08]But it's it's a game.

[00:00:11]I'm going to show you.

[00:00:13]I'll show you this I'll show you the source code first before the actual game.

[00:00:19]So it's all in this file folder directory called game.

[00:00:27]Okay, you're going to have to remove this file later.

[00:00:33]Okay.

[00:00:35]First we'll go to the window.

[00:00:38]Window client.

[00:00:46]I'll just show you the source codes first.

[00:00:51]Okay, so this is the window client or the client.

[00:00:58]It uses SDL for the window managing.

[00:01:05]And it all starts with this.

[00:01:10]Which creates a window that will be displayed.

[00:01:20]And it's totally resizable.

[00:01:23]And it it's linked to the game engine.

[00:01:27]Okay.

[00:01:30]Multiple set buffers for um performance.

[00:01:36]Okay, and higher FPS.

[00:01:40]It's going to be a white background.

[00:01:44]It's what I set it to.

[00:01:46]Okay.

[00:01:48]Now we'll go to the game engine.

[00:01:50]This is the meaty part.

[00:01:54]We'll first go into the window.

[00:01:57]to the Haskell code.

[00:02:00]What you're looking at is the basic fundamental of the game engine.

[00:02:08]This is basically where it's all placed on a library first before actually putting it in uh in practice as a source code.

[00:02:22]So, you can see here we have the engine in initialization initialization.

[00:02:28]The mouse and mouse input and the rendering of the 3D 3D dimension.

[00:02:37]Okay?

[00:02:39]Now, we'll go over here to the main game engine.

[00:02:44]It still includes SDL because that's the driver I use, but this time there's a 3D render driver called OpenGL.

[00:02:57]Probably one of the most common drivers to use on a on a video game.

[00:03:06]And what I want to show you guys is this. This part right here.

[00:03:13]The void engine update.

[00:03:16]This is basically each that This is basically the the system the processing system that handles the buffering or the frames.

[00:03:29]It processes for about 0.0 uh frame per second.

[00:03:38]And 0.001 frame per secondary second.

[00:03:42]Meaning this uses my performance at its ultimate state for efficient frames and overall just kind of like a benchmark test for my computer, honestly, but it runs great.

[00:04:01]It runs great.

[00:04:03]And then yeah.

[00:04:05]We have here the base plate, which is what I know which is what I'll be stepping on.

[00:04:14]Yeah.

[00:04:16]And check out I know there'll be a void.

[00:04:20]I said this is just a temporary floor that I'll be using.

[00:04:26]I've thought of making a map editor for this, but yeah.

[00:04:30]Anyways, that's um let's enter the game.

[00:04:34]Well, now I know use the executable that I've created.

[00:04:45]Yeah, so this is the simple game. I can move around forward. I can move backwards. I can move left and right. I can jump.

[00:04:55]Yeah, I can jump.

[00:04:57]And I can even fell to the void.

[00:05:00]Go to the edges.

[00:05:07]And yeah.

[00:05:09]I don't even know what I'm going to do.

[00:05:12]I don't even know what I'm going to do with this, but I'm definitely going to do something about this.

[00:05:19]Going to make my my own game, bros.

[00:05:22]This is so sick.

[00:05:26]Hell yeah.

[00:05:29]I'm excited.

[00:05:33]Yeah.

[00:05:35]Oh. Oh.

[00:05:36]Oh.

[00:05:37]Oh.

[00:05:38]Oh.

[00:05:40]This is so cool.

[00:05:45]Check out this coordinate going on on third third Third third feature on this, not just first person. I think that'll be cool.

[00:05:56]And to prove how I know And to prove how um And to prove how performance efficient this is.

[00:06:08]Look at that.

[00:06:13]Look at that.

[00:06:16]Xorg that's the That's the system.

[00:06:20]That is on par with SDL. It only uses about 1.1 memory and 40.1 CPU, which Wow, that's very and a performance efficient.

[00:06:36]I'm very proud of it.

[00:06:39]Nice.

[00:06:41]Nice.

[00:06:45]I want to make a shooter game.

[00:06:48]For real.

[00:06:51]This took me about 4 days to program.

[00:06:54]It's written in C.

[00:06:59]A low A high-end uh programming language that is, you know, it's what most games are made with.

[00:07:12]For example, Call of Duty, it's made in C.

[00:07:18]It's game engine.

[00:07:21]Which is based in Unreal, I think.

[00:07:26]And uh yeah.

[00:07:29]Game engine engine at C.

[00:07:38]I think we can remove most of these.

[00:08:01]>> Okay.

[00:08:02]I think that works.
