I see - yeah, I think it's v7 that I'm using. I know that I could make my life at lot easier by using D3D (or the 3D side of DGraphics) but I kinda wanted the challenge of building a 3D engine with...

Ahhhh, so that's how you do it!! I only have one monitor output on my comp, so poerhaps I'll need to upgrade to a G-force card with double output???

Cheers, that's really helpful - Microsofts DX...

I was using Borland, but was told that it's not very quick in the graphics department and was advised to use Visual C++,...

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a junior when it comes to C++, so please be patient with this very basic question!!

What's the function (and header file) for positioning the text cursor, so that I can...

Excellent, that seems to be working a treat now (finally realised that you've gotta include windows.h - duh!!)

So, have now got thrust & rotation working, so that the position and velocity vectors...

Thanx, think that's exactly what I'm looking for. Am using Borland 5.02 and it's in the Windows API. How do you actually use the function, is it just a case of:

You'll have to forgive me, am a bit new to C++, although am v familiar with programming - think I'm using OWL API.

What does API stand for - does it allow me to utilise the keyboard in the way I...

I am currently writing a game demo in Borland C++, as I wish to become a games programmer in the near future. The demo is going to be a space battle simulation where you rotate and thrust in 3D...
