Just being curious I thought it might be nice to get people to tell us what they have done or are doing or plan on doing with away3d. ==============================================================
What am I doing? ------------------------- I am trying to learn 3D techniques (AND oop) as a hobby and fun activity by programming a board game puzzler involving 5 chess pieces and a chess board, but there's no chess piece moving or checkmate or anything like that. Think of it as like a minesweeper like game where the objects you are guessing are the chess pieces themselves, and the information you use to try to guess the pieces is the information available at each square which is simply a number, which represents how many pieces can attack that square (governed by chess movement rules). Essentially it's a port to 3d of a game I wrote in C (allegro) almost10 years ago. It involves, mouse interaction with the board and pieces, eventually loading of models (but for now just primitives), use of 3d text, and one day I would like to make it a multiplayer game but have now idea how to at this point in time. I'm using Flash CS3 in the CS3 IDE and the flash player 9 is ony targetted thus far. Knowledge of 3D techniques was mostly non-existent prior to starting this. Have met Rob Bateman on a 1 day 3d intro course at webdu conference in Sydney Australia and just getting serious about using it. Cheers, Max
