Simple 3D Graphics

[Meerjel01]

Quick question.

I want to make a 3D renderer similar to the Marathon engine Aleph One. How do I position primitive vertices to make a 3D polygon?

Please respond. Thanks.

SFML doesn't do 3D rendering.
You can fake some of it with 2D and lots of math, but I can't really tell you how.

If you want to render in 3D you'll need to use OpenGL as Aleph One is using.
My personal advice is to try with something a lot smaller to begin with. Writing an engine is not at all trivial. It requires a lot of knowledge in niche programming areas as well as math and much more.

I know that SFML is 2D but it can still do some 2.5D. Also I ask since I've gotten better at code. (Did some home-brewing for the OG Xbox)

I just want to have a small push forward before I start. I'm not gonna do something too complex out of this. I just want to test this out for awhile.

So you want to make a Doom/Wolfenstein 3D kind of looking game/demo that looks 3D but is actually not?

There are different techniques on how to achieve a fake 3D look depending on the type of game you want.
Here's a nice article for a racing game: https://codeincomplete.com/articles/javascript-racer/

Maybe the technique I asked for before was too much so I'll try out ray-casting again. I was making an edit of the Adventure3D ray-caster with multiple wall textures support once before. I'll give it a shot again as a start.
