Here my code so far, its playable if there are two of you, only media need is a skysphere picture, or any picture will do, just rename the load image "earthmap.bmp",1 to the file name of your picture.

code is set to not load a skysphere change this to sky=1 to load one.

feed back welcome and info on AI welcome.

Wow that was blunt !

It's a good start man (I personaly found it reasonably fun for its point in WIP). A few thing you could do to make it more playable.

* Mouse control to move the camera: Make sure you can not just rotate around but also over.

* A nice backdrop: Yeah its slightly picky, but it does effect the mood and interest of the player so its good to put in (And with geecee3's collection of free backdrops available theres no good reason not to !)

* Have the game end when someone wins: Obviously it in your plan but I thought id reiterate it here.

* Have the balls drop into place: Currently they just appear, it would be nice to see them fall (Also the balls seem just a little small)

But a very nice start, will be good to see how this goes.
Keep up the good work.

Moving the balls to drop in place is on the list writing the winning lines took most of the time after getting the placements position right.
As for the balls begin small there was a reason for that if they were to big you would not have been able to see the other balls when in position you might miss a winning line.

Hadn't thought of that sounds like a dam good idea, will be looking into doing that.

Yep that ones on the list but your point made me think yes I may just want to quit the game and go to work or bed or something?

New update, you are now able to listen to your own cd's while playing, just don't change your mind about which one you are playing, eg don't eject and then put it back in.

Not fixed that bit yet,ok if you put another one in.
adding a shine to the spheres, nearly there with that.

Another update! have some shine on the sphere and the world that you play in is a little brighter, also fixed the win, want another go or quit part at the end.
