hey there
Proud to announce that for the past two weekends games of tag have been
successfully played at the Square. An Avatar has been built that makes
"Tag" & "Hide & Go Seek" possible. In a nutshell there is a switch Node in
an Avatar that toggles between an "IT" & "NOT IT" state. Proximity driven
behaviors allow the "IT" Avatar to freeze the "NOT IT" Avatar. Granted it
ain't perfect but it is playable.
I'll post a URL shortly ( tried a quickie update and made it worse )
Also a did a poetry reading with an Avatar that again had a switch Node in
it. Watching the reading was a group of writers I work with. Went very
very well. Am building a generic Av for them to modify & use for their
pieces. ( It's set to use mainly jpgs and such so non VRML folks ought to
be ok ) Have promises of work from all four.
May do an educational piece as well, given that poetry is undervalued.
Sadly tried to do a live test with Jeff & Miriam but I botched the time...
soooo...
I'm available to demo all of this but would like suggestions as to good
times to do it.
best of wishes
steve
