I have a question, but I don't know how to ask it.

You know, in those RPGs where you control a bunch of units of stuff, you can click and drag to select a whole bunch of them?

How do I draw that little box?

I don't need an oven to make my cookies.

Is your Game 2D or 3D?

It is easy to do that in 2D, At least, I know it would be easy to figure out some way how to do it in dark GDK (i mean without using any other libraries)
e.g.
Get the mouse position, draw a rectangle or greate a sprite, Resize that rectangle / sprite with the mouse movement from the mouse's first coordinates (while the mouse is down). And then check if it is colliding with any other units(sprites);

3d is trickey, because there is no real relationship between 2d and 3d coordinates. You could try creating a box or plane and resize it with the moue movement. haha, im gonna play around with this...
