Dear friends,

Thank you for the kind words. I plan to change Aum's content in the near future and I hope that you'll like the new version even better.
Sims-like entities, as well as simple multiplayer templates, are on my todo list; I've got a long list though
I also plan to make the future Aums searchable; does any of you use a program that can do that? I could use Microsoft's html help (chm) but I'd like to use something friendly.

theres always helpscribble? www.helpscribble.com (makes html help files and chm files)

Nice contribution as always, George.

The interview with Ice Bytes was the most interesting part this time.

Thanks!!

Thank you. Scribble looks ok (though I don't like its ui that much).

Thanks as always George

Hi George,
This might be a good one for a FAQ.

I am developing a turn based strategy game with tanks similar to Scorched Earth.
I need to be able to get distance of the opponant in a pop-up panel and controll the tilt and pan of the tank barrel as well as the power of the artillery shell, thru the panel similar to the panel in your Fogger article from AUM 25.
It would be good if the controll could also be given for the mouse.

Perhaps also, finding distance from mouse_ent.
Cheers.

I like the Rpg Morrowing

best regards,
ruthger

Nemisis: getting the distance from your tank (camera, whatever) to the enemy is pretty simple if you assign a different pointer to each enemy tank.
distance = vec_dist(camera.x, tank23.x);
Put this line inside a while(1) loop and you are done with that. Please use my code sample for "Thanks" if you want to control the barrel using the mouse. I will answer your question regarding mouse_ent in the following magazine.
Have a nice day.
George.

George, could you add C++ material?

Sure, what would you like to see?
