Adventure Maker supports the pictures obtained by projecting the 3D world on a cylinder. That kind of projection is very common, and is called "cylindrical panoramic projection". Other types of projections exist (spherical, cubic...), but they are currently not supported by Adventure Maker.
Here are some small examples of cylindrical panoramic projections:
If you look closely at the pictures above, you will notice that they are circular, meaning that the very left part of the picture is the sequel to the very right part of the picture.
You can also notice that the aspect ratios (the ratios width/height) can vary. For example, the aspect ratio of the first picture is 4 (meaning that the width is 4 times the height), while the aspect ratio of the second picture is 1 (meaning that the width equals the height). Any aspect ratio can be used with Adventure Maker.
