my main problem is that though I'm okay at 3d maths and handy with c, I do
not know how to do very much that is amiga specific. So far I'm stretching
my abilities to add joystick control - all my amiga specific functionality
is borrowed code off others. But I remember once I managed to do something
in blitz using an OS function call.
its info in my blitz manual (I dont have proper amiga docs) is
Execute(string,file1,file2) , what c types would these be? char *, char * ,
char * ???
I cant seem to do anything with this dos function in c. I imagined it would
be possible to execute an mpeg or avi player perhaps that I could download
from the internet so quickening up the project as a whole, as I could then
concentrate on creating cut scenes rather than figuring out stuff that I
dont actually know.
