Includes a code folder with the project, src and inc files, also includes a libs folder with the dll3impact.lib
I uploaded it to my personal space and posted the link since I can't post the entire project here.
I will also post the project files here.

That is really phenomenal zumwalt!
Very different type of 3d Demo, and fun once you get used to it

Does the dll3impact.dll have to be with the exe file when distributed to work?

[Barney]

Yesw. The DLL is needed in order for the compiled program to run. However, I've just tried it with MoleBox Pro and it runs perfectly on my machine as one single EXE file, which includes the DLL and all the media. Total size of the EXE was around 3 MB.

[J B Wood (Zumwalt)]

Whats Molebox Pro and do you have  URL for it?

[Barney]

It is a file and exe packer. It packs all the files needed for your application together with your exe file and compresses the result at the same time. Your example uses somwhere around 10 MB of disk space and the moleboxed exe is only 3 MB in size. There are two versions of the program with the crucial difference that only the more expensive Pro version can include DLL's into the compressed EXE. You can get it at:

www.molebox.com  (edited: originally I wrote ".pro" at the end. DOH!)

What program should I use for obfuscation and registeration system? I want something that generates keys and has a database system, any recomendations? I know Aurora uses something, I would like something like that!

[Parker]

Armadillo, or as its now called, Software Passport. http://siliconrealms.com/index.shtml

[J B Wood (Zumwalt)]

Thanks, checking them out. I Appreciate all the help.

Tested with Alpha 3, revision 3, no changes needed at this time.

[Ionic Wind Support Team]

You will probably not have to change it for any of the revisions.  I really stress backwards compatibility when I code and if something drastic changes I'll post it with the revision announcement

[J B Wood (Zumwalt)]

Thanks Ionic, I'll just deal with any new functions added by the 3Impact team for the code here. The fact that everything is passed byref, default, really makes things that much easier on me. Things are crazy at the house, so I don't have the time to update the code to add the 3 new functions that 3Impact added, but taking the code I already gave, and if you own 3Impact, it only takes like a few minutes of your time to update it yourself, I already did all the hard work for everyone how owns both products.

I've purchased molebox pro, very impressive..
