Menu Loop

When I press Enter to start playing, it loops back to the menu.

I am quite sure that an issue here is with SSE 16 byte alignment. I was able to reproduce the issue and building with SSE disabled solved it. Specifically the restart is caused by function 'uint8_t raytrace(vec3 pos, vec3 dir, hit* info)' in src/reference.c:

    int x = (int) pos.x;
    int y = (int) pos.y;
    int z = (int) pos.z;

GCC generates SSE instructions here which trash all registers.

Here is the patch to Makefile:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 9c47644..e708464 100644
--- a/Makefile

 LDFLAGS=-m elf_i386

This might just explain why the raytracing function doesn't work on my laptop at all. Nice find!

Could you add it to the prebuilt ISO? I don't have a Linux machine, so I don't think I can build it...

Unfortunately I don't have a Linux machine available right now either.

I'm gonna try it with Cygwin, I will get back to you when I am done. (If it even works)
