actually, I wanted to know how to rotate an object using the ball of the mouse.. not the default left or right rotation shown in the example. &nbsp;And I am more interested in MANAGED code (DirectX 9), not C++ code.<br />

thanks,<br />

Rotating a 3-D model using the mouse

Game programming is the software development of video games. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering as well as specialization in simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input. Like other software, game development programs are generated from source code to the actual program by a compiler. Source code can be developed with almost any text editor, but most professional game programmers use a full integrated development environment (IDE).
