How would I Prgram a 3d Platformer in DarkGDK? I can use darkGDK to make a fps and stuff but I don't understan Sparkys collision too well, because my charater moves with my camera but i want its feet to stick to the ground. I want it to be similer to the Ratchet and Clank Series.

well, you can make it so the character object is created at the ground level, and constantly check to see if the character is not touching ground and if it is, make the character fall.

-to the optimist, the glass is half full. to the pessimist, it is half empty, to the engineer, it is twice as big as it needs to be.

if you are talking about collision and gravity, then it isn't too hard for some basic gravity. heres a outlie:

make a velocity variable for the player and a constant variable that will be your gravity force.
next every loop add the gravity force to the velocity variable. then check for collision with the ground.
if there is collision set the velocity to 0
if there isn't collision then add the velocity to the player Y variable(but don't set it to zero).

Your velocity and gravity should probably be floats.

That's all there is to it!
