I seem to be having a problem with first person camera pitch rotation. I have read to the end of chapter 11 of the book named above. My code seems to be in the state it should be, but when i enter the game and move the camera around for a short while, it doesn't take long before the camera stops being able to pitch rotate. i will happily send you the code if you want to see it. I'm sure i must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like gimbal lock to me. Its a common flaw in cameras. Google knows more.

Hmmm yes i read online, still can't be certain that that's what it is and the more i think about it, the more it seems unlikely. Because i capped off the Yaw and Pitch at 45 degrees so the camera shouldn't have the freedom to get into that situation. Seems wierd that i would have this problem, considering i followed a book. I'd love to send it to someone just to get a second opinion. It may be blatently obvious considering i've never worked with 3D before. If you'd be willing to have a look then please post an email address.

Hi you can send it to me at S i m o n b 2 6 AT y a h o o . c o . u k and I will take a look if you like.

Hmm yes i tried sending it but you havn't replied. Are you sure you've given me the right adress?

Hey Sam, this is Aaron Reed. I'd be happy to take a look at the code. Email it to me at w r i t i n g @ a a r o n  r e e d . c o m.

I recently purchased this book and have been trying to find the source code for it.

Does anyone have a working link to the source code?  The author's site will not load for me.

Thanks.

Same here... I have no problem typing the source myself, but it would be nice to have the source code and sample assets to speed things along.   Maybe elwayfans (Aaron Reed) could provide a new link?

Yeah I'm in the same situation, recently purchased the book but now the website with source code has gone offline :(  , maybe someone has these files on their computer and could upload them for us.

I will let Aaron know.

^ Cheers mate

ive got a copy of all the source files
where should i upload them to?

btw amazing book
