Since Pulsar seems to lack a 3D system like opengl, I have become interested in pre-windows methods for faking 3D.
What I have so far is just simple Isometric drawing. I might not make it all the way to real 3d, but at least it is interesting.
The rotating cube idea would give me something to build a Rubik's Cubic on . I hope it is not too big a problem to solve.
