Version 3 is now out! Sprites now have the correct dimensions with relation to camera distance.
Remember the game Zarch for the Acorn Archimedes? Or Virus for the Amiga system? Well, this is a graphical engine for making games that carry that 80s 3D nostalgia feel. Press Z for particles.
It has support for 3D polygons and particles.

This pico-8 3D engine is slow as f*** as of right now (~38 tris a frame). May improve in the future.
Based on javidx9 tutorial series and with some stolen code from electricgryphon's 3D library.
