If anyone's trying to do this in Jython, then this might help, since I've actually looked at some source code from different programs that do this (to be specific, it was part of the "Portal" source):

Try making the camera render itself on an image such as a billboard.

- make a billboard elsewhere that is linked to that tripod..
- view the live virtual camera view from that tripod on the billboard, even when the actual camera is elsewhere.
- repeat the proccess for more views on one screen.

Note that the billboard pictures move as the items on view from the special camera tripods move.

His agreement.

His proposal to make the suggestion happen.

Do you have a special place in the Alice team, or are do you making another version of alice, like MAMA?

No. There are two alice worlds. You open alice twice, and run each world together. these worlds save the location data in a file. the other program reads this file and moves the target objects to the specified position. Complex in theory, but very simple in practice. Only about 25 lines of jython code.

Lightbulb Multiplayer games - 02-19-2010, 03:04 PM

I was wandering how, if a multiplayer game was to be made, both windows would be controlled at the same time. But then I thought. One window, the window that is in front could recieve all keyboard events and, as long as both players use different keys; say player 1 w,a,s,d and player 2 ^,<,>,v, send certain keyboard commands to the other world(s) so they could proccess them. So one world, the master world, recieves all keyboard events and sends the right ones to the other world(s) and keeps the other ones for itself, therefore iliminating the problem of both worlds not being able to recieve keyboard events at once.

Just sharing my thought, use it if you didn't already think of it, I can't think of what to use it for. What multiplayer games could be made?
