Explanations of some 3d math concepts - I remember not getting the 3d rotations working correctly when I first started programming, but I'm not sure if that's my fault or the fault of the doc. Most of the docs are some simple linear algebra. They spell out the equations in the end for those who can't completely understand them.

Zed 3d - a document explaining the maths you'll need for 3d. Word and postscript formats of the same file. Zed has an attention to detail and a great way to explain all the math. I highly recommend this to anyone starting to make a 3d engine who doesn't know where to start (start with the math, not the polygon fillers, believe me! the fillers are trivial in comparison). See the bibliography for where to go next.

A mod/s3m player with source. THIS is the player you want to pick up if you're doing a 100% asm intro with Tran's pmode v2.xx and need SB support. It's easily tweakable to play your tune from memory, though the code given loads from disk. If you don't need SB support, also check out Robban's GUSPlay.

I'm not exactly bored, but this bit of code is frustrating. I wonder why CL even bothered. There are no technical docs of any sort and the code that is here *REEKS* of bad style. For extra frustration, I unzipped the file which had a self extracting .exe in it, which gave me 4 zips which when each extracted with the -d option finally gives me the SDK.
