can someone post it somewhere else?

Hello trickout. Terribly sorry for the broken link. Please try again.

Cheers,

trickout

Thank you for fixing the link. How can I edit the code, for instance make it move in 3 dimensions instead of just on a plane? I've tried to find a .rb editor but no success.

.rb files are merely text files. Notepad, Textedit, lots of editors will work. Always save as plain text.

Any alternate sources?

Hey August,

I've sent a query to the code site folks asking what happened to the video.

Thanks!

Hi Scott,

I'm Having the same problem BTM did back in Nov:

@unknownuser said:

I have a mac running OSX 10.5.6, and for every frame, I encounter the error
%(#808080)["newGroundz:
value=>-5000<
TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression value.split) is not object."].
the error pops up first, i have to click enter, then next frame, same error, this repeat over and over, then the knight falls through the floor, screams, and SU messes up. Any idea why?

@unknownuser said:

I'll need to test on my Mac with SU7 and post a fixed version.

Have you found a way to correct this?

Hi All,

did anyone ever get this running on a Mac? can something be changed to make it run?

This was working on a Mac back when Scott posted this thread. Did someone or SU break it since then?

driven

hi Todd,

I only downloaded it recently and it appears to have the same symptoms as BTM's early post described, so I thought it had not been fixed....

or the solution had moved on to a different thread, as sometimes happens...

so, it's not currently working on 7.1 on a Mac and although I'm happy to modify the code, I'd need some instructions.

cheers

Hmm. Todd's cleaned up version was working on mac. I'll take a look...

driven

Thanks for that...

Todd Burch,

Congratulations on the quality of that code. To my eye, this is super readable:


var BACKSPACE =  8 ; 
var TAB       =  9 ; 
var ENTER     = 13 ; 
var SHIFT     = 16 ; 
...

Just one question: why the space before the semicolon?

driven

hi,

I can't believe it myself, but I now have it working on my Mac...

I changed it to "darwin" in line 137 and he longer falls

	if RUBY_PLATFORM.include?("darwin") then script = "top.GROUNDZ = " + groundZ.to_s + ";"
	else script = "newGroundZ(" + groundZ.to_s + " );" ;  
	end ; 
	dialog.execute_script(script);

now to see if all else works.....

Habit. Most languages I code in require a semi colon (C / C++ / Java / Javascript / PL/1 ) and other languages (Ruby, REXX) a semi colon is optional. Just a style I've developed over the last ... 26 years I guess it is now...

Thanks. Todd

It's been a few years since Scott released this game demo, and I thought there might be a few people who have not seen it, so here it is. bump. I was floored at the time to see this working in SketchUp, but it is still pretty awesome.

There is a link to download the game in the first post of this topic - it works with sketchup 8.

There is a clip in the video showing the game starting at 19m30s, but there's a lot of good developer info in the rest of the video too.
