Virtual Growth and Knowledge

 

Hello again all you wonderful readers!! Open-mouthed smile

I told you guys that I would update again, and would include piccies, so here we goo!! Smile with tongue out
Yesterday I visited the ReactionGrid, the OSgrid, and the good ol’ Second Life Grid.
I made accounts for Reaction and OS, James Dodon, and Almost Nobody respectively, and went exploring!! :>
It was extraordinarily hard to find my way around, and all my teleportation attempts kept failing :/
I did see some amazing places though, and had a pretty good time so far!! ^u^

At the end of my travels I went to my super secret super awesome super super fantabulous  off-the-grid (no pun intended :p) server, where I practiced terraforming and building things. :3
I am in the process of building a house,  but I don’t know how to do the front wall because it looks like it might take 3 prims, when I am sure there must be some way to make it with only 1 or 2…
(I need a hole in it for my door. Prims are just objects, 1 prim could be one rectangular, square, or triangular prism, etc…)
I am figuring this out as I go!! XD

Here is a picture of the house so far…
House:
ProgressBuilding_001

Oh so you see that thing in the back corner?
That is a dispenser, if clicked it gives the person who clicked it a notecard I wrote welcoming them to my humble world Smile
I’m hoping to add freebies to it as well, so if I ever get on the grid the people that visit will be happy and will help create a beautiful world.

Here are the other things in my world at the moment,
ProgressBuilding_003

As you can see, I have a weirdo tree like blob, a tree, and a cylinder with a triangular prism attached to its head. (the cylinder is linked to the prism, so they are essentially one object, and they have a script so if you are within 5 meters of them and click them they move 3 meters forward, and if you are outside of the 5 meter range then they turn to face you. :P
Awesome huh? You can write scripts and make the objects behave in interesting ways lol (that’s how you make doors open and close Winking smile)

My humble little world doesn’t have much to offer yet, but it’s getting there Smile
With freebies such as the newspaper dispenser I got online, I think I can add even more spice than my nooby attempts at creating things like the building XD

On to other things…
While in Second Life the past week or so, I was attending a kinda treasure hunt type o deal, where I have to find these little coins witih emblems on them and click then for the clues as to where the other coins are.
In theory I will eventually reach the final coin and will get a prize for my efforts.
Well….
I found a few of the coins, followed their directions, and wound up in a graveyard.
I began hopelessly clicking graves to see if they would open up and reveal the coin, but instead a bunch of crazy rabbits began to bite and scare the crap outta me XD
I was like OH MY GOD! and I ran into a little shanty in the middle of the graveyard.
And lo and behold, there was the coin!! :p
Needless to say, I didn’t particularly like the rabbits, but I braved them to get a piccy for you :3 *blushes
Here you go!! Smile
(I’ll actually just post a few pictures of my avatar, the rabbits, etc)

This last pic is what it looks like whilst the rabbits are trying to rip out my intestines O_o
Scary huh?
Good thing health was not enabled in this region!! (yes, health can be enabled in certain regions and death is by and far never a good thing!!! lol)

Here are some pictures of my adventures in ReactionGrid and maybe (if I took any) in OSgrid…

Hypergrid Adventurers Club_002

This is on the ReactionGrid, as you can see part of the logo in the upper right part of the picture!
That in the center of the picture is what I labored on for quite a while, it says

”~James Dodon :p
this is awesome, plz excz bad art XD”

Idk why I did it like that, but it was fun :D

Here is another picture, it’s my avatar (I always have a hard time customizing my avatars :<) next to a Hypergrid Adventurers Club sign.
(hypergrid is jumping between grids without having an account on the grid you jump to, but still having your other grid avatar be what you are using. )
Hypergrid Adventurers Club_001
I want to join the club, but so far I can’t get any hypergrid like things to work :/
Maybe they can help me, but I do not know *shrug


I hope to explore these beautiful and amazing regions more fully, and to meet new people, make friends, and to build a beautiful world as well. :}

Thank you for reading, this is all I have for now,
Stay Awesome!!

Sincerely,

~James Dodon

(P.s. Bonus Pic!! :P
In the reaction grid home area, my avatar glitched!! @o@
(the physics engines of OpenSim and Second Life are different btw)
