Thanks, I will look into that. Sometimes you have to try the ugly work yourself to better appreciate what others have already done, I guess.

I don't know how £ will show over there!.

Looks like a lot of work indeed. The £ only shows if set set the file encoding to e.g. ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF8.

I don't mind robots joining the forum, as long as they contribute something useful. And summarizing your problems is not so useful

Is Kevin498 human?

Just for fun I was trying to design a typeface. The plan is to convert the characters into 3d-objects, but in 2d this might also be useful. Only "A...Z" and "0..9" created, "a..z" is more challenging. Code: #include "fbgfx.bi" const SW = 800, SH = 600 'screen ...

Ok, I will also try a particle emitter.

Continuation of the project above. Control keys: up/down, left/right, a/z. Any idea how to best simulate a laser beam spot? A light cone with small angle does not look so nice. #include "fbgfx.bi" #ifdef __FB_64BIT__ #include "openb3d-64/openb3d.bi" #else #include "openb3d-3...

PNG work well for certain graphics. Not sure what the best PNG library for freebasic is at the moment however.

Trying out meshCsg (subtract and intersect). Works well: #include "fbgfx.bi" #ifdef __FB_64BIT__ #include "openb3d-64/openb3d.bi" #else #include "openb3d-32_old/openb3d.bi" #endif const ENTITY_FX_NONE = 0 const ENTITY_FX_FULL_BRIGHT = 1 const ENTITY_FX_VERTEX_COLOR = 2 ...

Small remark, the 1.26 guide says on CreateCylinder:
"solid (optional) - true for a cylinder with a base, false for a tube. Defaults to true."
But it must be 1 for solid, not freebasic's boolean true.

The decal mesh example (with camera zoom 6) looks like this here:

Is there a way to check which version of openb3d is installed?

Thanks, looks good here as well.

There is something weird going on with multiple camera's and camera fog. The code below should display 3 rubik's cubes. 2 with fog, 1 without. What I get is only 2 cubes visible. 1 with fog, 1 without. Uncommenting line 85 CameraFogMode(cam1, 1) makes the cube on cam3 appear. #include "openb3d/...

Ok, final update, I think. The project is getting boring. I included Langton's ant movement and BasicCoder2 ant movement as an alternative for the random walk during food search. Set WALK_METHOD at line 34 to WALK_RANDOM or WALK_BC2 or WALK_LANGTON 'https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=30...

Both acceleration and gravity implementation look good. For a real simulation with "meters" en "seconds", numbers will be different, but for a more game-like use, that is not so relevant.
