Ah, okay, this is going to be a real noob question. But can anyone tell me how to implement a mouse control in a 3D environment ? Possibly with using quaternions ? I am trying to do this by using SDL at the moment and find myself stuck for I just don´t find a good way to start off. So if anyone did this with SDL I would be happy for help. Thanks. Twist

These guys kinda get heavy into the mathematics, so i hope that you passed trig :-D

they create a nice camera class over a series of several tutorials, and i must say it works very nicely. The first few tutorials set up the framework, then they get into handling mouse events. You could probably set the code up to work for quaternions too if you'd like

EDIT: oops, wrote down the answer too quickly :-D if your using OpenGL, i'm assuming you can port the GameTutorials code to SDL, (tuts writtin in C++) the mathematics of the code is what your really looking for. You might have to do some picking apart, but i'm sure you can figure it out :-D

Hey thanks ... the page looks quite nice.

I guess I will be good about the "picking apart" -stuff .

Thanks again !
