Fun and Mayhem with the Blender Game Engine
I've been working with Blender 3-D for several years now, but I started playing with the game engine only recently. I've had a lot of fun with it, and I'm sure you will as well. With the Blender Game Engine (BGE), you can create 3-D games using the keyboard or mouse as controllers. Your game can trigger events when objects collide with each other or when they get within a certain distance from each other. There is a built-in state engine, so that objects in your game can change their behavior as required. Although there is a powerful and well-documented Python API, we won't be using it today. In fact, we won't be writing a single line of code!
In the April 2009 issue of Linux Journal, I wrote an article demonstrating the Irrlicht 3-D engine by creating a basic 3-D environment in less than 100 lines of C. In this article, I demonstrate the BGE by creating a functional video game, complete with realistic physics, and all I'm going to do is connect dots.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
