Here's a bit of code that turns one animation frame into a strip containing rotated versions of that frame. It uses the "pixel ships" code I posted recently and demonstrates a ship rotating. (Hit Escape to quit.) Rotations of 10 or 22.5 degrees seem to give smooth-looking rotation. A friend is

Ray-tracing or ray-casting is really only useful if you want to make complex effect like shadows and multiple reflections, like http://www.openrt.de/Gallery/2002_DynamicRayTracing/Images/teas_kitchen1.jpg. If you're just looking for something 3D, use OpenGL. OpenGL is faster, and has easy support

hi, if you are working on a classic raycasting engine like wolfenstein3d or similar games used where you only have vertical walls there is a short tutorial on http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/raycast/ or one at http://student.kuleuven.be/~m0216922/CG/raycasting.html they are both not in python

Cool! I've been trying to do something like that...You can make each pixel in an image a rectangle in 3D space, but this is, I imagine, slow. Pygame really should have a function which scales an image to a four-sided polygon. Sorry I can't help more. Ian
