I've managed to turn the maze into a 3d block maze, but i'd like it to reside in a 300x300 pixel "Window" on the screen e.g.:

+ Code Snippet

+------------------------------+
|                  +----------+|
| +--------------+ | Text     ||
| |  3D          | |   Window ||
| |    Window    | |          ||
| |              | |          ||
| |              | |          ||
| |              | |          ||
| |              | |          ||
| +--------------+ +----------+|
| +---------------------------+|
| | Character Window          ||
| |                           ||
| +---------------------------+|
+------------------------------+

Is it possible to put just the 3D area into the 3D window show in the snippet above?

Thanks for any help

It should be possible, I'd do it like this:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 30
hide mouse
autocam off

make matrix 1,1000,1000,5,5

make object sphere 1,100

rem This is where you set the camera output, x1,y1,x2,y2
set camera view 100,100,400,400

do
a#=wrapvalue(a#+4)
position object 1,500+(sin(a#*4)*100),(cos(a#*2)*50),500+(cos(a#*8)*25)
position camera 500+(sin(a#)*500),200,500+(cos(a#)*500)
point camera 500,0,500
sync
loop

The 300x300 box doesn't look very good, it's better using factors of the existing screen resolution, for example (640/4)x(480/4) box.

Fantastic, thats exactly the command I was looking for. Thanks.

The contents I'm displaying acutally look OK in that size window.

Hopefully I'll be able to post finished version of the engine here soon. (Well you could say version 0.1 of it

)
