      Yup, its possible. But Sketchup is not designed to run video games - it has no built in physics engines. So you will have to program all of that on your own. Its possible though. Search for the prince of persia game or something. You can download and install it and play it right in Sketchup.

      Good luck on this one!

        I've done a version of Quake running in LightUp.. "SU-Quake".. the way of the future! πŸ˜„

        I actually use DCs for all the moving doors/elevators etc. It is kinda spooky running around those levels inside Sketchup.

            Would you mind sending me the game? I don't need this for fun, its actually for a school project where I want to create a virtual museum where people can walk around and I want it to be more like a 3rd person kinda thing, and for it to be interactive.
            Then, it will be for fun.
            Lol the museum is about Star Trek. Go Trekkies!!!!

              My 2 cents worth..

              I get the strong sense you're being distracted from your core task...this is a "Displacement activity" to avoid focussing on what you really should be doing..

              Doing a walkthrough with DCs for interaction using just Sketchup is completely do-able; I suggest you focus on getting that right rather than playing about with game engines.. πŸ˜„

                  Any help would be appreciated, and I also need other components to make a game such as enemies, objectives and stuff.

                  Sounds like you got exactly what you needed... And now I imagine you'll get a "passing grade" for your ingenuity... πŸ˜’

                    What about a board game instead? I always thought it would be cool to design your own chess pieces and then play a game with them in SketchUp.

                      I made a monopoly game like that already

                        so I was wondering if there were scripts that enabled you to check If you are in contact with an object when you are in the walk mode.

                        The Knight game already posted uses the raytest method for collision detection. Download it and have a look at the source files - it's not as complicated as it may seem at first.

                          I would think a game similar to Mousetrap or Crazy Machines (1 or 2) would be doable... Lots of fun with SketchyPhysics and one could use Ruby's OO model to advantage in coding the game logic.
