[View Quote] [View Quote] [View Quote] AWCPP is implemented entirely in GNU G++. The version implemented by
Cygnus at <A HREF="http://www.cygnus.com">http://www.cygnus.com</A>

You can find the source I referenced at

    <A HREF="http://members.xoom.com/esumerfd/ActiveWorlds/AWCPP/">http://members.xoom.com/esumerfd/ActiveWorlds/AWCPP/</A>

Infact, I just released version 0.3 that supports a complete Avatar
tracking model.

The one thing I might modify in Xelags write-up is the design approach
and this depends entirely on where you are coming from as a developer.
Xelag mentioned the idea of multiple robots and how to keep track of the
appropriate positions. That is a C design problem. With the AWCPP design
in C++ we already have all that encapsulation. This is an excellent example
of why OO design is so powerful.

So, if you are learning C I would recommend learning C++ straight away
and forget C. If you are a C programmer I would recommend getting into
C++ fast. It has taken me, a veteran C programmer, 5 years now to feel
comfortable working with OO design concepts.

It seems to be an industry problem for procedural programmers (C) to
reenginner their thinking processes to become OO programmers (C++). Good
luck.

Roland, thanks for the tip. I didn't spot that one.

[View Quote] [View Quote] 1.    avatar distance from robot.

I implemented this using Pythagarous in the code in the AWCPP - Avatar.C,
distanceFrom() method. Here is an excerpt

  // Convert all positions to their absolute values. No negatives.

  if (delta_x < 0) delta_x = -delta_x;
   if (delta_y < 0) delta_y = -delta_y;
   if (delta_z < 0) delta_z = -delta_z;

  // Work out the horizontal hypotenuse using Pythagarous theorem.
   //
   // hypotenuse squared = opposite squared + adjacent squared;

  float hor_h = sqrt(((delta_x * delta_x) + (delta_z * delta_z)));

  // The vertical hypotenuse is the the actual distance between
the
   // the avatars.

  float distance_from_avatar = sqrt(((hor_h * hor_h) + (delta_y
* delta_y)));

I was wondering:Is Anyone willing to start something where you offer
free SDK Compiled Scripts and charge like a Fee for OTHER Bots after a
user gets a taste of what your C Programing can do?That'd be
cool.Yet....N/m.Reply if ya like dat Idea:)

Throught.and remember:This Message came from a SDK NewBie:)But NOt an AW
newBie:)and not a C Newbie.
