hello,

I want to create a wingcommander style game. I'm a new progammer of 3d game. I don't know how to use the 3d for that.

For the moment i can setup my screen load a spaceship in the 3d.

But I don't konw if :
-I Must limited the space?!
-How to create a radar screen? (to see where is enemys)
-How to see the space (load bmp or create some planet by hand)
-if I load a bmp, How I can load 6 bmp for all surface of the cube?

Please help me!!

if you are new, and havent done anything yet... i suggest just playing around with DB... get the hang of it first... so some experiments to learn more about DB... we can not help you if you just ask "how do i make a game"... you will not get any help if this is all you ask, and have no knowledge of DB!

There are tutorials about most of the aspect of game making at DBpro home site. Look at them.

Ok I'm programming about 10 years in pascal, delphi and c#.net.

I have make some tutorial in db. Well I can't say I haven't any expericance about it. If it is the case my question were how I can make a game. But this isn't my question.

I just want help about the construction of my game (for not lost time useless !) But may be I'm not clear because english isn't my mother tongue.

I restart my explaination :

-I know how to create and move a spaceship in 3d world. I just want help for know if it is better to limit the game world and how I can make this.

-I want to create a enemy radar for see where enemys are! I don't know how make this.

-and the last but not the least, I want make a beautiful world (star, galaxy, palnet, etc). I kown how to load a bmp file or create a sphere (with texture). I just want an help for know how to make the better beautiful world.

I hop now I clear and someone can help me!

this question should be quit oposite. Its not problem to make game world limited, its problem to make it unlimited. Only way hove to make it unlimited is to include some level of randomization. All other forms of creating world will by neceserly limited.



make simple plain object and place it on screen where you want to have it. Lock object on screen (there is comnand for that)
make texture for your plain object via 2D comands like box or dot -make black box of your radar size (backround) make green dot at the center (your ship), place red dots (enemyes) relatively to their real position in space and distance to your ship -you have to have scale of your radar in mind when placing them on place. Make texture using get image command. Texture your plain object with image. You can fade your plain object that you can see through it.

-voala ...you have your radar. -Its just simple example and ist only 2D radar. Its up to your fantasy to make something diferent and better. Possibilities are nearly unlimited.



-that depend only on your programing and graphical skills brother
