This is my first attempt at making a 3D representation of a revolving vector using GLBasic.
Actually, it is my first attempt at writing any kind of 3D graphics program.
The code is very simple and will be the basis for further development.
Specific parameter values have been hard coded into this version just to get something working.
Any comments will be appreciated.

Glbasic wants an angle for sin and Cos functions dont know if it Works with Radians too
QuoteGlbasic wants an angle for sin and Cos functions dont know if it Works with Radians too
Yes, I discovered that when writing the program. I think DEG is the only angle mode in GLBasic.
