alice-teacher linking different worlds in single game

[Edwin Ward]

Hi Bob,

Assuming that I understand what you want to do, I think your best bet would be setting up a new dummy camera in a position that doesn't have a view of any of your other objects (there's a nice tutorial called "scene change" if you can't figure this out at http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/alice09/tutorials.php ). Then, you can move the ground near your camera like any other object, and change it's texture (under properties) to fit the type of ground you want. At the same time, you can change the atmosphere color (under world properties) to a color that better fits your new scene.

That should be enough to fit your needs. If you've already tried all that and it's not sufficient, maybe someone else knows a better way to do this.

Hope this helps!
