Making a 3d Engine in turing is useless...sloooowwwwwww...if you're interested in that stuff, you should try to get into c++ and directX/openGL.

If you want something that's easy to impliment and looks 3d (but isn't technically 3d) try raycasting. It uses simple math and looks very good...I posted the link to a nice tutorial on another thread.

3d isnt THAT slow in turing... you can get like 200 multicoloured polys with (fake) lighting at 20-25fps, thats with a screen size of 800x800
