Reviving a technology from 40 years ago in the iconic TV series "The Prisoner", I celebrated my successful rebuild of libode.so (with many thanks to the patience of Teravus, Dahlia, and Nebadon) under Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64. No longer do my regions suffer the scourge of spheres! Back in 1967, The Prisoner series featured a security system that was a white spherical, bouncy device that always captured the escapees. Here, I have simulated its Dutch cousin, as a slightly oblate orange spheroid rolling down from LBNL terrain near the Greek Theater. Of OpenSim technical interest: might be that this is 40 standalone regions running the ODE physics engine, with one physical prim and one logged in av. System: Intel Core2 Duo E6550 overclocked to 3.4 GHz / 4GB / Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 ODE2 from opensim-libs changelog thru 20080328 mono 1.2.6 launched with OpenSim.exe or OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe Either SQLite or MySQL 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1 SL client 1.19.1.4 x86_64 Linux or 1.19.1.4 Win32/XP There are bits of friction at the region crossings, but Rover manages to cross several regions (shown in the viewer as red property lines) on its way down the hill. It is so much more fun to have physics working!
