I dont really know how all of the equations would translate into programming, but as long as I know how they work, it shouldnt be THAT hard... maybe. all you need is high school physics, then using 3DGS physics engine should be easy as pie but if you mean making your own physics, it's a little harder than it sounds julz Formerly known as JulzMighty. I made KarBOOM!

Making a car one like Doug says can be a whole heap of fun as when you have everything working well you'd probably want to make different tracks and environments which is great for increasing your skill range as each new level would probably promt you to add more assetts that may need more scripts, then competitors (AI), environment and so on. I started with FPS and I'm still stuck in learning mode!

There really isn't anything about the engine itself that makes it more suited for FPS then racing, RPG, or anything else. The template scripts are centered around fps because that's what most people want to make. Conitec's Free Resources: User Magazine \|\| Docs and Tutorials \|\| WIKI

I have already created AckNote, which is NOT a game (get ready for a BIG screenshot, ): Stupid ImageShack, I TOLD it to resize to 1024x768 (the real image size), but no cigar, . Oh, well. At least it's viewable. Last edited by MrCode; 07/02/07 23:38.
