Am I correct in this description? When using a camera that provides three vectors (position, view, up) so that it is compatibe with the gluLookAt function, * ''position'' is the coordinates in 3d space (so its not a vector, its a coordinate using a vector structure for convienence) * ''view'' is a coordinate in 3d space which the camera is focused on (again, a coordinate; or, a vector relative to the camera position (not the origin)) * ''up'' is a coordinate directly above the camera (or, a vector relative to the camera position, not the origin) Is this correct? I''m not sure I''m using the function correctly.

Yes, but I think the problem is a massive memory memory leak (leaking like 25k per second).

Well, the memory leak is somewhere in my python scripting system (it doesn''t leak until I start executing scripts). It sucks because if I run the game for any length of time windows runs out of virtual memory and I have to reboot

I know approx where to look, but I can''t use cout for some reason (if I put a cout where I think the problem is (in the constructor of the class I think keeps getting new''ed)) ALL cout''s in my engine don''t output, only the python ''print'' statements work. Of course, this may also be a SDL bug (sdl takes stdout and dumps it to ./stdout.txt) or a MSVC bug (I have raw msvc6, no service packs (can''t download them on 56k way to big)).

Oh and also cout''s don''t work when I use a debug build.

I really screwed myself here but bezier curves are more fun than debugging so the leak can wait
