Description
Make one agent at a higher altitude than the terrain, use the ‘Alt’ key and move your mouse to see
the 3-D view.
Make 20 agents scattered at the same altitude above the terrain.
Create 20 agents scattered at various altitudes above the terrain. Make a 2nd breed with a single
agent, make it an invisible agent & take the camera (try setting your invisible agent in different
locations to find the best view)
Create 20 agents scattered at various altitudes above the terrain. Have them move around and
‘float’ in the water like plankton (move forward and slightly up & down)
Scatter 20 agents at the same altitude above the terrain, have them fall to Spaceland like rain and
stop when they hit the terrain.
extra challenge: add evaporation
extra challenge: when the agents hit the terrain, it looks like snow on the ground.
Create 200 turtles at random x, y, and z coordinates. Have them wiggle around the world and
wiggle up and down. Have the turtles change color if they collide with another turtle.
Come up with your own Coding Challenge! It should relate to using some aspect of 3 dimensions in
Nova. Write a description in this box and make a solution for it. Share it with you Club Leader.
