Hello all,

I am currently working on a freeware game with a similar coordinate system and perspective in comparison with EDI''s engine and while searching for a solution to my sorting problem, I have come across this thread. I have been trying to find a functional sorting algorithm for about 2-3 months now, but every time, there were some special cases where any algorithm failed . I hope you will be able to help me (probably a simple 3d engine would be much easier to realize )

First of all, you might want to have a look at a screenshot of my engine:

I am wondering whether Crazy Mike''s algorithm would work here. On the one hand, my coordinate system looks quite similar to EDI''s, but on the other hand, what, for example, would happen if structure 1 in Mike''s sample was very flat - structure 0 would not even be rendered, although it should be.

I hope you understand my problem. Any help is highly appreciated !

Regards,
Timm Linder

First of all, thanks for your quick reply. Probably I''ve misunderstood something, but after having another look at Mike''s sample,

quote:Rendering structure:
3,4 3,3 4,4 4,3 5,4 5,3 6,4 6,3
Done Rendering Structure:

Rendering structure:
1,2 1,1 2,2 2,1 3,2 3,1

structure 0 would be rendered AFTER structure 1 has been rendered, which is wrong in my opinion? Or am I missing something now!?

Thanks a lot.

BTW: CrazyMike, does the modified version which fits to EDI''s coordinate system still exist? Would be nice if you could share it with me/us .
