doomREAL3D - Stardance

Ship #1

We've all seen Doom running on weird hardware, even on a 3D printer display, but have you ever seen Doom printed on a 3D printer? My goal was to make a simple Doom-inspired shooter, but instead of displaying frames on a monitor, it prints the whole map, enemies, and the player on a 3D printer. The game is a basic turn-based shooter with a map loosely inspired by the first stage of Doom. You lose if one of the enemies gets too close to you, and you win when you kill all 4 enemies. You can use automatic printing (which works only with Bambu Studio) or just generate STL files that you can manually open or print. The hardest part was probably getting enemy AI to work. You can try it even if you don't have a 3D printer, you just need a program that can open STL files. If you need instructions on how to play, visit my GitHub repo.

devlog #4 - Today I created github repo, finished automatic printing, and optimized it so loading stl doesn’t take 2 minutes. Also fixed some bugs.

devlog #3 - Today I added shooting and polished the movement system. Also you can now lose when an enemy gets too close to you. At first i was a little bit worried about supports but now i think they are pretty doom-vibed so I’m gonna leave them as they are.

devlog #2 - I made so that enemies try to catch player and implemented controling player from console. Also added so that if an enemy is to close you lose. It still have a couple bugs to fix but after I fix them I can try to automate printing process.

Today I coded map and enemy generation which then gets exported to stl that i can print with my 3d printer. I still have to add enemy AI, player inputs, and automated printing.
