Building A Second Life Checkers Game #6

Detour number 6 is what this post should really be called. After the experiment for positioning the pieces programatically instead of based on the initial layout of the pieces I decided to take a step back and finish something simpler first. I took that sample board and turned it into the first draft of a tic-tac-toe game.



The green triangles will be the location to click on to place the actual piece during play. The texture for the board is the same as the checker board, a 2x2 grid repeated the correct number of times. In the case of checkers it was repeated 4 times in the x and y direction. In the case of tic-tac-toe it is repeated 1.5 times in each direction then I had to offset the u and v direction by 0.75. I'm not smart, I just fiddled with it until it worked.

That said, I think this step back will actually be a step forward since I'll be able to do most of the work for the checkers game in a scaled down fashion, then take that knowledge to the larger game.
