I created a 3d-style game that loads textured blocks from an array. Each time the function that reads the array comes accross a '1', it puts a 3d quad (6-sided cube) in its respective position and slaps a picture onto each side. its a huge array,
int glblocks[20][20]
and I am curious as to why every time I DONT look at any thing on my screen it runs fast, then if I turn the "camera" to anything texture mapped, It starts to get slow and laggy.
Why!?
BTW, while I got you thinking, is there any easier ways to load a 3d world? All I want is a way to get a reasonably good looking 3d environment that I can walk around in. That's all.
Ack.
