Lab 5 - A 3D World

Objectives

• Be able to create rooms with a map file
• Be able to handle collisions
• Create a path finding bot

1. Download the chapter 12 source code and import into Eclipse.
    
2. Try out PathFindingTest.  You may want to edit the map file to remove the "aggressivebots" so that you can explore a bit without those troublesome creatures hounding you.  I also found it desirable to increase the lighting intensity so that I could see better.
    
3. Since we have been poking around the map file, you can see a rough sketch of the rooms on p614 of your text.  Edit the file to create another room off the "south room".  Make the room more than just a simple rectangle and have at least some portion of the room not visible from the starting room. 
    
4. Add a cube in your new room.
    
5. Add collision detection to the player so that if you collide with a cube, the cube disappears as if you picked it up.
    
6. Add a path finding bot to your new room.  Locate the bot somewhere where it can't initially see you as you start the game.
    
7. Email the modified files to me for grading.
