| Zed 3d - a document explaining the maths you'll need for 3d. Word and postscript formats of the same file. Zed has an attention to detail and a great way to explain all the math. I highly recommend this to anyone starting to make a 3d engine who doesn't know where to start (start with the math, not the polygon fillers, believe me! the fillers are trivial in comparison). See the bibliography for where to go next.

| The author says he appreciates a mention when you "steal" his formula, but "his" formula was already used on the amiga a long time ago. It might be useful downloading though if you're a starting 3d coder because the flatshaded 3d engine is very easy to understand. C

| Library for using DirectDraw for making demo effects. Use Winzip to decompress archive because of the long file names. If using DirectX 5, you have to change two lines in DirectXConversion.cpp to type cast to (DirectDrawSurface2 *). When you try to compile, you'll know which lines those are. Hmm... maybe wince stands for Win-CuteElf. (If you see this, are you going back there?)

Really nice intro with some bitplane-mapping (& rotating), vectors, vector-dots, etc. There is such a bug, it supports GUS only at 220 (for other base-ports un-pklite this program and change 0x220 (the only one) in code to your base address).
