(Sorry for the early post! I'm too used to using tab!) Key: ABBXV33V So, I am currently working on a 3d engine that is (supposed to be) lightweight and easy to add new models to. There are some problems, mainly an odd rendering bug that I have been trying, and failing, to fix. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this, as I feel I can't do anything to fix this. The main problem is reverse(?) rendering. For some reason, looking in certain directions causes all objects to render behind you in reverse. I don't really know how to fix this, as I have tried but I hope I'm just missing something simple. Another problem is random Out of range errors. I have no way to fix this since I can rarely recreate it, so if you happen to stumble upon it then please tell me where you were when it happened and where you were looking. Here's the code below. I can't post this right now since my 3ds is having trouble connecting to my WIFI, so please bear with me! Before doing this, please note that this will not work on the original 3ds. If it doesn't work, tell me what line the error is and i'll fix it. This was harder to type than I thought it would be.

Ok give me a bit to copy down this code.

Oops! I forgot the end of the initial project! Without it, it does 1 frame then stops :p But I triple checked the code and everything seems fine now.

i give up too much code to copy my hand hurts

Give a key, perhaps?

Give a key, perhaps?
Like I said, my 3ds is having trouble connecting to our WIFI. I'll try my best to connect up if you don't want to copy the code. Just hang tight for about an hour ;)

Alright cool

Alright, I think I uploaded it. Key is ABBXV33V. And when asked to save, press no for the first time.
