Quote: "What kind of game are you writing?"
The game is a space flight type action/sim idea. Think of the classic "Elite" or maybe even the first "X-Beyond the Fronteir" game by Eggosoft. I want to add multiplayer support to it to, but I will first need to learn the basics (control, collision and then multiplayer-client server stuff), and then extra content. The game is mostly going to be used as a "learning" expereince working with the DbSDK. I have even put togehter my first model, will have some picture shortly, got to get access to my website again.
I plan on using a couple of different camera angles. #1) Main Camera angle will be "cockpit" view, you don't see your ship just the cockpit. View #2) will be a "behind" the ship view, slightly up above. View #3) will be one that you can control, kinda scrolling (oribiting) around the ship. View #4) I want a extra window so I can get a camera and place it have it follow the target object.

Ahh hmm that may work, lets open the ide and give that a try.
