I have a question, is Dark Basic Classic compatible with VRML97?
If it is, could somebody give me an example on how to use VRML97 with Dark Basic. Thanks for any help you can give

..what the hell is VRML97?

Your signature has been erased by a mod because it's larger than 600x120...

I think it has something to do with stereo viewing. You know, making a 3D impression on a 2D screen...

Even if it's possible to view a VRML world in stereoscopy, VRML itself has nothing to do with stereoscopy. VRML means Virtual Reality Modeling Language, and has been an attempt to bring 3D to the WWW. In short, it's a scripting language that describes 3D objects you'll view with your browser.

Here's every info you'll need about VRML: http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/

You could add some kind of preprocessor in so that all calls to 'sync' instead go to (let's say) a Sinc0() function of your own invention, and then do something along the lines of this:

When the user has chosen a VRML file, make a HTML file as a 'wrapper' for it, spawn a copy of Internet Explorer onto a cleverly hidden 'virtual desktop', (yes, XP has capability for more than one simultaenous desktop), and whenever your Sinc0() command is called you lock the buffer and use CopyMemory() (DOT is too slow) to copy into DB's backbuffer from what Internet Explorer is displaying, and use the keybd_event() function to send keypresses to Internet Explorer to control the object (maybe even JavaScript. Mm.)

-----

OR, you could stick to .X files.
