Hope to see it soon and also some physics!!
like monkade

3d will be really hard maybe impossible to work with all targets so i wouldn't hold your breath. As from what i can gather mark is only adding stuff he can get to work on all the targets

Why? Monkey has a very limited IDE, practically no documentation of existing features and no useful debugger. Why would you want something new, before the existing shortcomings are addressed?

+1 for 3D, molehill FTW.

Isn't Edzup working on a 3D module (Tomestone)?

with effort, and not extreme effort but moderate, miniB3D can be ported over since there's already a Java version and iPhone version out. A GLFW version could be made without too much pain.

The big pain would be OpenGL to DirectX for xna targets, then GLWeb for HTML5, and finally Molehill (or Papervision/Sandy/Away) for Flash.

Looks like the fine people at OpenB3D have created a cpp version already, so therefore, there's nothing stopping miniB3D from being ported.

Guess I'll get started on it!

that would be pretty awesome from you!

Tombstone is making very slow progress atm as I have loads of other real life issues that are soaking up me time. Its a 'done when its done' thing at the moment.

So like Duke Nukem Forever then? ;)
Oh wait... we can't make that joke anymore... orz

Aren't we all! Actually, I've been trying to force miniB3D (openB3D, iMiniB3d, aMiniB3d) to work with monkey, but I'm getting nowhere fast.

I'm going to change my tactics and try and expose opengl 3d commands to monkey, extend the graphics device base to implement 3d perspective, and see what happens from there.

opengl
