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?

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?

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...

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.
