At one point (and this is a while ago), I wrote some building blocks to do what you're asking, but this was for an older version of Virtools. What I would suggest is that you use a c/c++ package that has most of the functionality that you need built into it and then wrap some of those functions into bulding blocks. A good example of what I'm talking about can be found here:

I'd be happy to explain in more detail if anyone needs it.

i have seen an online-game made with virtools...but i think they spend a lot of time programming the multi-player mode. it was called beyond 2000. is it possible with virtools to share such programming somebody made (if he wants to share) and use it in virtools without any programming knowlege? what i mean is...could it be possible to include a kind of multi-player behavior in virtools somebody programmed...or as plug-in? like the physics-pack...

to keith:

thanx for your idea, but what i would need is an online-game-like environment or just over lan. using 2 players on the same computer doesn't help.

thanx

virtools is one of the most innovative tools i have ever seen. imagine what you can do with it. i really would like to see it as an internet standard for 3d. why don't you finish the mac player? i am a windows-user, but the problem is that the most web-design companies work with mac. they set the standard...like they did with flash. and macromedia doesn't sleep...i know a lot of people that directly would go and buy your nice prog and a pc to use it when they see it running on their mac.

good luck
