Re: [Visualpython-users] First person navigation

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

A closely related topic was discussed on this list recently. One outcome 
of that was the moderately heavily documented program look_around.py 
which you'll find in the Contributed section of vpython.org. The 
contributed program movecamera.py is also somewhat relevant.

Also, try the VPython example program stonehenge.py, which lets you move 
through a scene. I should point out however that there's a bug in scene 
management in the beta version of VPython: in stonehenge.py you can't 
advance beyond the (0,0,0) location.
