Take it look and see if you can help with some of the problems.

Well theres a few problems. One: Space runs out.

I tried simply "wrapping" it around so the ship leaves the matrix and comes back on the other side, but this caused the klingons to simply disappear. (As they were all teleported to the other side of the galaxy)

Should I make a wall at the edge of the galaxy? that seems crappy too.

Suggestions?

You need some sort of jigsaw pieces that join together, end to end. Then you keep swapping the end one, and deleting the front one as it goes off screen.

Matrix?
Are you using a matrix as the starfield (space) around the ship?
Why not simply "save" the relative position of the Klingon in the moment you "wrap" on the matrix a restore it after your movement?

Or maybe use a geosphere (centered on the camera position) to visualize the space around you?

yeah im actually using 2 matrixes for the stars.

As for the wrapping problem I just wound up sending eveyone accross the universe. Not pretty but it seems to work.

Here is a new screen shot. Ive added planets. What should I add next guys in red shirts to beam down to certain death?

omg! Try to use 8 matrixes. For the stars
No, dont use any matrixes cause they are killing your
fps. just make some plains point them to the camera
position and texture them with a star texture.

so making all those stars is faster than the 2 matrixes. Ill check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Im new and I mostly just redid the caverun tutorial.

In my experience the game slows down when I start adding objects, especially moving objects.But like I said, Im new.

Why not to make an ordinary sky box/sphere, When you travel from mars to earth, I dont think the stars are scrolling. If you travel about across this galaxy, then the stars are scrolling (and it takes about 100 000 years when you travel fastest speed possible) Anyway, if you make a wrap thing to wrap from this place to other when stars have to scroll, why not to make a simple 2d effect. Just an idea.

I know the scrolling starfield isnt accurate, but I want it look more or less like the old tv show and on the show the stars scrolled. Maybe its better to think of it as space dust. The planet distances are wildly inacurrate as well.

Heckno what are the most important things that should get fixed up?

Im open for suggestions.
