3d Game

Just how do you make a 3d game in Turing? I made 2d games before but where do you start when it comes to a 3d game?Do you start out with three value x,y,z or something. Or is there a way to access programs like directX.

You should ask for help in the - OMG - Turing Help forum. This is for submitting apps.

You don't make a 3d game in Turing. It's just not powerful enough to be effective.

Moved! (There isn't much point in me saying this, except to prevent beard0 from looking like an idiot, which he is not.)



As for making 3D games in Turing, the first step would be to learn how to project 3-Dimensional objects onto a 2-Dimensional plane. That would be found here: http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/routines/3d_to_2d.htm

Enjoy, and don't hurt yourself with this newfound knowledge. Smile

Import turing into autocad and that will work.

You can totally make a 3d game in Turing. Search the turing forums for posts by Catalyst.

And be prepared for one heck of a surprise! Smile He made some nice 2d particle-related stuff too, heck I only saw one a few days ago for the first time - amazing.

Still, if you wish to expand then Turing will make it difficult. But no worries, by that time you will be ready (and willing) to move on to another language.

I know that you can make a 3D game in Turing - it's just going to run extremely slowly as soon as you get into anything remotely complicated.

We were simply trying to expand on what you said Smile.
