Map editors are pretty difficult. You might be able to get something setup where you can set some blocks up, but that would still be a challenge if you're new to programming. I'd suggest doing something simpler. Most people would tell you to start with pong, but you have to do something that interests you at the same time. Look through the tutorials and try editing them and learning some basic DB that way.

Well, determining where a user is clicking in 3d space is interesting since the screen is only two dimensional. To find the coordinate you have to determine how far way the object should be. Once you've decided this you use something like-


This code does nothing by itself of course, and it is completely up to you to get the information which is in parenthesis. I just wanted to make you aware of how the pick screen command works since it is useful in what you are trying to make.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

There's something in the codebase about clicking in 3d space.
