A slighty harder challenge. If you play some boardgames, you might already be familiar with this die! Using 2 (or more) basic prims, create an eight-sided die with the texture below. Make sure that the die displays all the numbers from 1 to 8. Ordering is not important here.<\/p>\n

Activity 3 – Vintage Camera<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"Skills: Building and texturing
\nRelated class: Basic Building, Advanced Building 1 or 2
\nDifficulty level: Medium<\/p>\n

We love photography and cameras, especially vintage cameras! Build us a prim camera (no mesh or sculptie) \u00a0that is under 50 land impact. You can get inspiration from this site: \u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/1fPWMKv<\/a><\/p>\n

What to submit: <\/span><\/p>\n

(1) A notecard with your avatar name, and what you are submitting. You only need one notecard if you are submitting for several activities.<\/p>\n

(2) Your camera with the object clearing showing your name as a creator.<\/p>\n

Make sure your object has COPY\/MOD permissions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Activity 4 – \u00a0Photographer at Work<\/b><\/p>\n

Skills: Avatar Animation
\nRelated class: Second Life Photography, Avatar Animation
\nDifficulty level: Basic\/Medium<\/p>\n

After we get a camera, we love playing with it, and putting it to work straightaway! So make us a pose that shows the photographer hard at work, making beautiful pictures.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

What to submit: <\/span><\/p>\n

(1) A notecard with your avatar name, and what you are submitting. You only need one notecard if you are submitting for several activities.<\/p>\n

(2) A pose that clearly shows your name as a creator, and<\/p>\n

(3) A Snapshot of yourself using it with a camera. Your camera can be something you made or bought.<\/p>\n

We rated this Basic to Medium level of difficulty, because depending on the camera you pick, this might not be easy to create a nice, natural looking pose.<\/p>\n

Make sure your pose has COPY\/MOD permissions, and your Snapshot has COPY\/MOD\/TRANS perms. We may contact you to put winning pictures of the pose in the next gazette!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Activity 5\u00a0– \u00a0Change texture on touch<\/b><\/p>\n

Skills:\u00a0Scripting
\nRelated class:\u00a0Basic Scripting
\nDifficulty level: Basic ++<\/p>\n

Students who attended the Basic Scripting class will have studied a script that changes texture with the timer event. Your activity here is to modify that so that the texture will change each time someone touches the prim. This would make quite a useful tool for giving a presentation or photo slideshow\u00a0of your own! Try to do it on your own without looking at any script libraries – using the LSL portal for help with functions is okay.<\/p>\n

What to submit:<\/p>\n

(1) A notecard with your avatar name, and what you are submitting. You only need one notecard if you are submitting for several activities.<\/p>\n

(2) An object that demonstrates how your script is working.<\/p>\n

(3) A viewable (mod perm) copy of our script.<\/p>\n

Activity 6\u00a0– \u00a0Click till you drop<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Skills:\u00a0Scripting
\nRelated class:\u00a0Basic Scripting
\nDifficulty level: Basic ++<\/p>\n

Bring back the timer we ditched from the last exercise. Make a fun game and practice your scripting skills at the same time! Make a script that will count how many times an avatar clicks on the prim within 20 seconds.<\/p>\n

The first avatar that touches the prim will set the timer ticking away – no one else is allowed to help add to the clicks. So make sure your script handles this.<\/p>\n

At the end of the 20 seconds, let the user knows how many clicks they have achieved, and allow the next challenger to start their clicking!<\/p>\n

What to submit:<\/p>\n

(1) A notecard with your avatar name, and what you are submitting. You only need one notecard if you are submitting for several activities.<\/p>\n

(2) An object that demonstrates how your script is working.<\/p>\n

(3) A viewable (mod perm) copy of our script.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
