Hex Wars (name may change later) is an attempt to make a family friendly FPS/RTS online game. The idea is to have a game that plays something like a strategy board game with the players taking the role of the pieces.

Linear Algebra, Matrices, and 3D math
I realize that it appears that I have not made any real progress on this game for some time now. I'm finding that there are many principles that I need to learn before trying to tackle 3D. Part of that is math, which I have been struggling through for a little while. I highly recommend that anyone who is interested in doing anything 3D learn about linear algebra. A brief explanation is that it is the math that helps give the illusion of 3D on a 2D surface (like your TV or monitor). Anyway the learning process is slow as I'm not as young as in times past. As I have said before this will take a long time, especially since I want to do it right.
