The order the the objects that are X_OBJDRAWn determines the translucency to the next object. That is, they are still see through, but other other objects are not seen through. For example, a player in the middle of a map can see through translucent object that are to the -x & -z from the player . This is the same for X_SPRITE.

Schranz0r, it's sad to reference ones pet as stupid or fictional. 

It's like i need to toggle the z-order only for the certain objects but it's not important for now. 

Objects that are drawn with an opaque alphamode only allow other objects that have been pre-drawn to be seen thru. Is there a way for post-drawn objects?

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

// Sample of triangles drawn behind first are only opaque.

Might as well be "post your pet photo" thread.

Those graphics make more sense than the ascii,

How about admob.com and plusplus.com? 

How are your objects created? I mean perhaps you need to invert there vertexes. 

Post some sample code!

I have the old minstorms and can be fun and useful. Although those videos don't resemble pac-mac movement unlike a micromouse!

Just to add, the function (with parameter) PLATFORMINFO$("DOCUMENTS") will return the user's writable app folder.

Who need graphics when you can build this:

It should take less less than a second to start an app, not including debugging or image loading.

Operation is cool.  Is that classified as a "board" game and is it for the comp?

No need for shaders on my iPod Touch test unit as I'm just experimenting with it's limits.
