help please
while the program is running i rotate the camera's x angle 180 with the keys but then when i try and turn the the camera's y angle it goes the oposite way. e.g left arrow key turns the camera right How can i stop this from happening.
please help

if downkey()=1 then xa#=wrapvalue(xa#-2.0)
if leftkey()=1 then ya#=wrapvalue(ya#-2.0)
if rightkey()=1 then ya#=wrapvalue(ya#+2.0)
if Inkey$()="=" then ps#=ps#+1
if Inkey$()="-" then ps#=ps#-1

Try changing the numbers from positive to negative, negative to positive, and make wrapvalue correspond with your other commands.

that's how the camera works, it should do that. when the camera x angle is>90 and <270 then the camera is upside down, thus "reversing" the directions. So, try to keep the camera <90 or >270, I think 90 is straight up and 270 is straight down, or something like that.

actually, to see what I mean by this "reversing",bend your head completely back so you're looking behind you, the spin in a circle, you will go the opposite way you're turning, then fall down LOL. i.e. if you turn left, you will see the room turn left. This Only happens when your head is way back though, more than straight up.

I modified your prog. a bit, if you look up slowly in the prog., until you are more than looking straight up, the rotation of the "room" will look like the way when you tilt your head back real far.
