Nils, > Why don't you use Modex? Of cause, drawing the pixels is slower, but you can use the multiple bitplane-writes to speed up the Clear-Page-Mechanism up to 4 times. And you can use tripple-buffering (paging) for flicker-free animation. I think it's worth the approach.< I haven't ruled out Mode-X yet. I think I'll work out my 3D engine first, and then tweak my video routines. I'll keep as much code as "generic" as possible to make switching as painless as can be. Thanks for the line code, don't worry about the German: Es sollte kein Problem sein. Or as ALF used to say: "Null Problemo!" It may suprise you that my main math reference is "Bartsch: Taschenbuch Mathematischer Formeln" –I got it at a book store in Metzkausen. Being from the DDR (at the time) it cost less than 20 DM (not bad for 596 pages) in 1989. I'm losing my German -from lack of practice, but if you need anything translated I can help (I hope). I'd probably be better with German -> English, but who knows? Where do you live? I'm most familiar with the Dusseldorf region, but I've been to other cities as well. Thanks for the help, Jeff
