Hi captain caveman,

The title of your request is regarding camera Y rotation, yet you ask about moving along the Y axis here. I ran the program and the Y rotation works fine. I could rotate using the arrow keys or with the mouse with no problem. Moving along the Y axis could eaily be done in your _camera subroutine, like this:


I'm not sure if that is really what you are after. I see you are limiting the X rotation of the camera using the mouse. I wonder if maybe you want to know how to move the camera forward while still being able to look up / down. ??

So many games to code.....so little time.

Typically, rotation using the mouse is not combined with a key to rotate the camera also. Usually, when using the
WASD keys the A and D keys are used for strafing, instead of turning. Your latest _camera subroutine revised to show this:


Check it out to see if this works better for you.
