That's pretty cool. Though I prefer to use height maps for terrains.

Re: 3D Space game in progress
-----------------------------------
Added a bunch of stuff
controls :
W,S : slow down , speed up
a,d:left and right rotation
arrow keys movement;

if the enemy ship is too far it will only appear as a red outline, once the object is close enough it's center enough it'll glow green(gonna use it for missile lock later) if not it'll glow red...

suggestions are welcome, also 3d models and 2d artwork is appreciated

You should use the mouse for x,y rotation and right click+mouse for z rotation. And hide the mouse.

I'm having the same problem on my laptop, it might be due to the screen ratio. Is your desktop widescreen?

ok, works fine when I run it, but when I fire a missile the screen goes black and all the ships change to red orbs, is that supposed to happen? i was hoping they would blow up :(

Awesome. I love hyperspace mode, it makes things so much faster. Going faster that you bullets is a plus too.

what is happening is that the ships are leaving the visible range, when that happens they turn into radar markings(red orbs).
if you want to see them blow up you can either shoot them at close range or hyperspeed your way towards them before they blow up to see them explode =)
