HI Tom I also battle to understand coordinates. What's the difference between the line running from left to right and the line running from front to back? Isn't the two the same? If I have a line from left to right and a line from top to bottom, it makes a cross. But how does a line from front to back looks like?

Well, that's certainly understandable. Although, it is nothing less than a crime that your primary school didn't properly educate you when you were young. That's there purpose regardless if you are blind, sighted, stupid, a genious, whatever. It is not up to them to decide who does and does not get a quality education. What idiots. That's just predgudist what they did to you in my book. Anyway, fortunately, understanding coordinates isn't really that hard to learn. It is a pretty straight forward subject and I could describe it in a couple of para graphs. Think of it this way. You have a line running from left to right or east to west. This line is your x axis of movement. Now we are going to draw a line from front to back or north to south. This line of movement is going to be our z axis. Finally, we are going to draw a third line running from up to down or top to bottom. This line will be our y axis. So now what you have is three different coordinates x/y/z which provides you six directions of movement in any direction you need to go. So if you press the c key in a game and it says something like 15, 11, 22 that means you are 15 units east of the west wall, 11 units above the ground, and 22 units north of the south wall. Does that make sense? Cheers! --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
