3D Polygon Engine #1 - flat shaded polygons, Rubik's Cube
2022-11-16. Simple 3D polygon engine made in MonoGame / XNA. All triangles are made with individual 3 vertices to allow for flat shading from vertex colors that don't impact other polygons that share the same point. Even the tiled floor is not a triangle strip, nor a texture. The tiles and all cubes are individual game objects that individually are made up of single color triangles. This is mostly a test of matrix manipulations, camera control, targeting, transformations, individual object control, and basic rendering in 3D using the MonoGame / XNA framework -- which I have never used for 3D outside of my own retro graphics engines where I compute the 3D calculations myself.
