Talk:Creation Ideas

@PilotLuke's interesting spider idea: The rockets wouldn't be too hard to do, the Killbot that Telamon coded would do the job fine, but getting it to walk around would take some doing. This might become easier as the Lua in Roblox develops better, and gets faster, but all I can think of at the moment would be thick legs that you use Rotational Velocity to rotate, somehow moving it. Good idea, and a good descriptive picture.

Looks cool! A spider is technically possible today, but only if one is willing to script all the linkages like we did with the humanoid. I'm getting on BM to make us a linkage editor which will make creating robots easier --Telamon 17:26, 12 February 2007 (CST)

Movie Theater

There was another idea, about a Movie Theater. Well, all it comes down to is the screen, and the movie, everything else is the model, which wouldn't be too hard to make. In order for a movie to play, it has to be a picture, so you would probably only be able to do a slideshow at the moment. I doubt that .GIF's are allowed as a decal, check with Telamon.

Something like a zoetrope is possible today - in single player only, since we have that problem with MP decals. Stills images plus sound should be possible by the end of the month. Playing streaming video on a brick surface is a ways off. --Telamon 13:17, 6 March 2007 (CST)

That's what I was thinking. Video, not only taking up a large amount of the map rendering to load, would have to be synced to all the computers, creating a nightmare for you guys.
