Mouse Rotation in a 3D Game
Author
I''ve implemented some mouse routines to turn in the game, which work. But now i have the problem that i can turn for just a small space, because the mouse cursor is still restricted to some space, and i can''t figure out how to register movements that are out of this window.
Can someone help me with this?
I hope i''ve explained it clear enough btw
There are functions you can use to recenter the mouse pointer.
e.g.
void glutWarpPointer( int x, int y )
e.g.
void glutWarpPointer( int x, int y )
On Windows, you can also use DirectInput which has some low-level mouse functions. Not as portable as a "glut" function though. However getting raw mouse data allows you to have a better control.

Well i don''t want to use any DirectX API, so that''s not a real option for me

Are there any functions like that in Java 1.2 ?
You can try JDK 1.4 for that. I don''t know about previous JDK''s, so it might be available in previous versions..

Is it possible to do this without GLUT?
void glutWarpPointer( int x, int y ) is a glut function...included in glut.h
So you must have glut to use this function.

yep, i know, but i wondered if something like this was possible without glut. just some normal windows method, which does the same.
