SPOTLIGHT: AIT seniors work with Unity 3D, state of the art level design software :)

­ Cecil Willie, a Lansingburgh SHS student, has created a city with roads and an original car model. He built the primitives and added colliders and rigid-body game components to make it respond to gravity and controllable with scripting via JavaScript. Cecil is also working on animating the steering of the car around turns. You turn with the arrow keys and accelerate with the forward arrow key. Cecil is a gifted Unity3D level designer and his work is featured this month. You must allow the free Unity 3D Web Player to install in order to play out this level.
Here it is, ... CECILS LEVEL WILL BE AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD, THE COMPLETE FOLDER WITH ALL THE ASSETS AND SCRIPTS!      New York assets folder

Just added new links to 2010-2011 games; all new for you to play

­ New games by the Juniors and the sites you download them from are student made as well. Students were asigned to make these sites in Notepad, so that they could focus on practicing the code that makes HTML and CSS deliver information and access. The games, made in GameMaker8, were designed and implemented by individual students or teams of students. They designed and built the games from scratch, some with original art work, and marketed them here to the public, friends and family.
