First Person Camera
I've finally got the first person camera to work properly in my engine, and it's very simple to use, too! 
If you want to enable first person camera mode, you can simply do this:
cam->SetType(CT_FirstPerson);
There's a so-called 'flying' mode, which allows the camera to also move vertically. To turn this off, simply add:
cam->SetFlying(false);
This took ages to get working, so I'm happy. 
Again, a few changes have been made to how everything is handled, so here's an example program source:
#include <TGE.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "TGE.lib")
Interface( MyInterface ) {
Window * win;
Renderer * renderer;
Scene * scene;
Camera * cam;
Light * light;
Object * pyramid;
void Initialise() {
win = pRoot->CreateWindow("Test Window");
renderer = pRoot->CreateRenderer(Direct3D9);
WindowParams winParams;
winParams.width = 640;
winParams.height = 480;
winParams.posX = 50;
winParams.posY = 50;
win->SetParams(winParams);
win->AttachRenderer(renderer);
}
void CreateScene() {
scene = renderer->CreateScene();
cam = scene->CreateCamera();
light = scene->CreateLight();
cam->SetType(CT_FirstPerson);
cam->SetPosition(Vector(35, 3, 0));
cam->SetRotation(Vector(0,-90,0));
light->SetPosition(Vector(8,3,-5));
pyramid = scene->CreateObject();
pyramid->SetType(OT_Pyramid, 6, 10);
}
};
Main() {
pRoot->RegisterInterface(MyInterface);
}
I'm pretty happy with how this is turning out.
