what i'd be a lot more interested in would be a general purpose tutorial for all of the difficult 3d problems you had to work out for this (point positioning, texture floodfilling, polygon clipping, determining the proper drawing order, etcetera).

That looks rather awesome, if I do say so myself ^^

Ill be releasing the project as a library that programmers can make use of, but i dont see why the source cant also be included.

Its still being refined however so it might be a little way down the track yet.

Somebody MUST make StarFox!
 

Thepenguin77 did it already here.

I was planning on a version of x-wing, but there are some serious 3D movement and tracking routines that i need to write first.

I was thinking of having a few small missions like 'protect a transport' or 'capture enemy ship' or something ... but like i said, i need to finish some complex 3D movement/tracking routines first, hopefully i can knock them over in a timely fashion!

I have managed to get the 3D tracking routines working for the most part. The screenie below has a tie fighter flying around its target, which then changes, in which case it reorientates and flies to it instead.



This routine is a must for game scenarios as objects can now find their targets in 3D space. It was a bit of a pain to get working lol!

Also here is a camera lookAt test:



Note that the stars are a quick hack and arent relative to the camera and there is no object sorting as yet (there is polygon sorting but its confined to per-object).
