Version 2 is now out! Terrain generation is more faithful to the original game.

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.

Go to: https://github.com/tpnk-dev/zarchy-engine-pico8 for the documentation

Based on catatafish's zedwolf and freds72's Ghost Rally. Thanks for the pico-8 discord for helping me throughout the process.

Token count for the engine: around 2965
Token count for the terrain generator and memory decoder: 444

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.
