How on Earth do any 3d programmers get anything done? I've spent the last 2 weeks working on the graphics for displaying one box guy who looks like a cross between a clown and roadkill.
And when I take a break, I go play Halo or something, and I can't help but notice that there are more polygons of the front end of Master Chief's helmet than there are for my entire guy. I know Bungie has some really fancy software to help them, but I feel I'm getting no where!
Any advice for speeding up my own progress? And I guess this is for general discusion of 3d graphics, as well as a question.

well, that's why it takes a whole team of programmers 2 yrs to program halo (maybe longer, forgot when halo 2 last came out).
Hint: if you have a little brother or sister to boss around, you can make them learn qb and then make them type up the tedious parts of the program.
Ha-ha, j/k. Sorry, i have no real advice to give other than have paitence...but good luck with your program!

It's always handy to have a plan when you're making big or complex games. Write the complex parts of what you want to do up (in notepad or on a paper) then look what equations or operations need to be done and then you write the things up that may come in handy (such as equations that you need much).

I seem to have run into a bug. This is FB.
Always returns not walking. Now, everything is DIM SHARED and I have OPTION EXPLICIT. And there's a lot more to each case, but for room and the purpose of debugging I left it out.
Why is it automatically going to ELSE?
Code: Select all
LET SWING = 1
...
SELECT CASE SWING
CASE SWING>=0
LOCATE 10,50
PRINT "RIGHT LEG FORWARD"
CASE SWING<0
LOCATE 10,50
PRINT "LEFT LEG FORWARD
CASE ELSE
LOCATE 10,50
PRINT "NOT WALKING"
END SELECT

Erm...your code is incorrect. I'm not sure if your code would even work in QB.
Do this...
