3D Game Programming All in One (Course Technology PTR Game Development Series)

Once you've typed in all of the modules, you should be in a good position to test Emaga4. Emaga4 is a fairly minimalist program. When you launch tge.exe, you will be deposited directly into the game. Once you have been deposited in the game, you have a small set of keyboard commands available to control your avatar, as shown in Table 4.3.

After you have created all of the modules, you can run Emaga4 simply by double-clicking on Emaga4\tge.exe. You will "spawn" in to the game world above the ground, and drop down. When you hit the ground, your view will shake from the impact. If you turn your player around, using the mouse, you will see the view shown in Figure 4.4.

After spawning, you can run around the countryside, admire your avatar with the Tab and z keys, and jump.
