kjell - thanks for the pointers,. Ville's FPS example does show this, however its set up in the x and z axis, strange. I hacked in the sin/cos in and got the rotaional thrusting working,. I was perhaps trying to make it more complex than was actually needed,. I should have paid attention in math cla...

now with a PAUSE mode,. you can actually fly the camera around a bit while the game play is paused! sic,. gave me some great ideas for a little realtime stratagy game that has been kickin around me overactive lazy mind,. could be the next project.

Wish I could afford to go to Breakpoint ! loaded with debt,. and no real income happening,. I need some funding! I'm looking into getting a game relesed with a major distribution system for a doller or so,. just a simple one like Loose Pixels POW,. or even that when Im done it,. I put a lot of work ...

you could display a text "charging cannons" and a cound down to keep the player in the loop,.

Ville - the hanging happens if i try to open a project file by dubble clicking in windows,. instead of runing the app and then opening it,. not a big deal just a nice thing when it works,. Idea; change Zexpretion to Zcode,. and Model to Object, .i'll look for more clear names,. I think those two are...

cool i will try using your 'crude way of passing data by parameters' as it sounds usefull,. . all the fixes and new stuff is great!

doing some more experiments and came up with this,. I like how the play area looks larger with the camera flying about,. creates a sence of drama as well moveing from top to bottom of the screen. could be smoothed out a bit perhaps,. . and now the music creates a bit of somber mood in the intrloods,.

here is a little audio/video creation,.
it's a .scr now,. free screen-saver!

with 3 sounds looping around at you,.

could be the opening to a new game,. blasting those terrible worm things, that are eating away at the SUN,. .

i like the feel of it so far,. could just be a cut-scene or intro, . .
