My anaglyph 3D version of #BBCMicro Elite is progressing nicely. Here's a 3D view of various ships, with some close and some far away. I just added a parallax effect, which makes a real difference. If you have a pair of 3D spex (with red in the left eye and cyan in the right), then give it a go!

Great work, commander! I recently picked up a vintage copy of Elite for the Apple ][, is this only for the BBCMicro?

Did you see that Martin Ling made a way of running it on a vector laser display? And a PvP mode? And VR headset? Mad.

It's easier to see the effect in static images like this, so I have added a loader for scenes created in the Elite Universe Editor (as this one was). It's a bit trickier to see 3D in the game itself, as it's rare to have so many objects in view, but the moving stardust looks pretty cool. 😀
