hi
didnt go dirtbiking today so…
i was trying to figure out how to upgrade my camera to quaternions, cawse they are the coolest
so i found some class from nehe tutorials but it didnt do what i wanted
and it was not meant for an fps style camera
and it was way too much code
so i had to totally tear it down like a 747 boeing
and after some trial and error because i dont know anything about quaternions
i was able to put this working example together
NOTE that i am still using glulookat() but using the quaternions to make my view vector for it
this way everyone is happy 
even Gadafi >:O
but now i wish i went dirtbiking cause it only took me 4 hours to figure this
anyways here is the coed, let me kno if u need the rest of the code for the quaternions and the header files, but i think you guys should have all that already
/*
- wow quaternions braw :eek:

void glCamera::Look() {
GLfloat Matrix[16];
glQuaternion q;
// Make the Quaternions that will represent our rotations
m_qHeading.CreateFromAxisAngle(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, m_HeadingDegrees);
m_qPitch.CreateFromAxisAngle(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, m_PitchDegrees);
// Combine the pitch and heading rotations and store the results in q
q = m_qHeading * m_qPitch; //swapping these will inverse rotations
q.CreateMatrix(Matrix);
camera.view[0] = camera.pos[0] + Matrix[4]; //changing these to 8 9 10 will inverse rotations only if looking above horizon
camera.view[1] = camera.pos[1] + Matrix[5]; //just totally weird [censored] hamilton
camera.view[2] = camera.pos[2] + Matrix[6]; //were you drunk? aww f it
}
void glCamera::Move(GLfloat vel) {
GLfloat Matrix[16];
glQuaternion q;
// Make the Quaternions that will represent our rotations
m_qHeading.CreateFromAxisAngle(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, m_HeadingDegrees);
m_qHeading.CreateMatrix(Matrix);
// Increment our position by the vector
camera.pos[0] += Matrix[4] * vel;
camera.pos[1] += Matrix[5] * vel;

camera.pos[1] += Matrix[1] * vel;

//lock it up

//fing amazing
