Re: [Plib-users] Newbe Question

[Red <red...@ya...>]

What I was wondering was, how do you deal with roll, 
pitch, and heading? I know for a walk through you have
something like:
//turn right
heading -= 1.0f;
yrot = heading;

//turn left
heading += 1.0f;	
yrot = heading;

//move foward
xpos -=sin(heading*piover180);
zpos -=cos(heading*piover180);

then:
rotate everything
translate everything
draw to screen

I have no idea how to get from this to some basic
flying code. I expiramented with some ideas, tried to
come up with what the math might look like, but
nothing works. So if someone could point me in the
right direction, that would be great.
