They aren’t the exact ones Benoit (my mentor) and Sjoerd (the Hive system author) wanted, but they demonstrate some parts of the Hive system well.</div><div>My first demo is a piano keyboard: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/pflz9d1hatmpl8l/keyboard test.blend">https://www.dropbox.com/s/pflz9d1hatmpl8l/keyboard%20test.blend</a> (the sound’s from here: <a href="http://www.freesound.org/people/Horn/sounds/9743/">http://www.freesound.org/people/Horn/sounds/9743/</a>)</div><div>It demonstrates factory generation through filters, and filtering playing handles (though that’s not working yet). It also demonstrate’s Hive’s and Python’s ability to use normal programming constructs (like a for loop) in the generation of a hive.</div><div>My second example shows how to spawn entities: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/sxvzrlesiko7d7h/spawn test.blend">https://www.dropbox.com/s/sxvzrlesiko7d7h/spawn%20test.blend</a></div><div>The source code is mostly copied from the pandaspawn tutorial from the Hive manual. Hive is abstracted such that a script will work in any engine.</div><div><br></div><div>What I will do next week</div></div><div>My plan is to fix up the examples, then finish the specific use cases. After that I’m to work on physics.</div><div><br></div><div>Problems I had this week</div><div>At one point I ran into a compile error that I couldn’t fix. I figured out it was due to a commit that merged with trunk, though, so I reverted it and it’s working fine now.</div><div><br></div><div>-Spencer</div></body></html>
