Hi, Is it possible to implement a camera such as gluLookAt() in a 2D game. I tried it, but it messed up. What i am trying to do, is have the camera follow a tank that is driving on a 2D landscape viewed from the top. thx

All you need to do is translate to the negative position of the tank, and draw the tank at 0,0.

//assuming you're using the x and y planes:glTranslated(-tank->position.x,-tank->position.y,0);//draw the world as normal...//draw the tank at 0,0...

There's no real need to make it any more complex than this.
