ok, I will later expand this thread. I have though of a really cool game I could make. It would be multiplayer.

The graphics would be quite poor, but would be VERY fast, and also 3D.

Questions:

a) Is there a limit to how many people can be in a multiplayer game?

b) Is there a way to have 3+ people on a dial up connection?

c) How do I create 3D things that look ok, but dont take up too much programming.

Thanks for everyone who participates in this thread,

a) theoretically, no. It depends on the amount of data you are sending over the network, and how much memory your computer has.
b) again, depends on the amount of data being sent over the network. Theoretically, yes.
c) Use an API, such as D3D or OpenGL. YOu wont have 4 lines of code, but it is less then writing the 3d math libraries yourself.
