Creating a playable character

I couldn’t find any tutorials in the JM3 tutorials. Does anyone have a link to one?

Is there any (JM) open source games i can take a look at as well?

the book is not commercial ..........like for sale :? ...........forgive me, I only know of the book thing.... not the details............just seems odd that the samples would just be sitting there if it was............................hopefully I wont put salt in the wounds of el cheapos among us for giving ideas but I would buy it.

Why is that so baffling? This is true for most programming books. The samples are very often available online.

its common for books to publish worked examples if they do not come with a CD

Oh, well yeah. Thats the good and the bad side of open source software I guess ;) For commercial software you never see the alpha's and betas and don't even know how long they have been developed. In OSS you see everything from the start and can right away complain it doesn't work or that it takes "too long" ^^

The BookSamples are a good soruce, although they are partially work in progress (95% done I’d say).



Did the link above answer your question? Did you find the following documentation?
