I have been working on programming my IBM compatible (286 for now, soon to
be a 486) :) for quite some time now and I have some aspirations to
program a game that uses 3-dimensional graphics, probable line graphics.
I have looked all over the country for books on the subject.  I have read
books that include code, and books that include theory from which I
created my own code.  All to no avail.  I can rotate things up the
yin-yang but the rotations are not correct.  They seem to be absolute to
the screen, not to the actual object.  I have tried every thing I can
think of to remedy this problem, but I have had no luck.  I don't know if
I am just missing something elemental or if there is actually a big idea
that I just don't see...

I would be really happy to hear from anyone with some experience in this
field about what I am doing wrong.  Thanks a LOT.  This problem has been
giving me headaches for quite some time now.
