XANADU

[darktemplar offline]

SHEESH!!!! I'm going to go ahead and make a new forum......

http://s9.invisionfree.com/Project_Xanadu/index.php

BTW I put it under cartoons, I thought it maybe should go under programming though.

I have registered in and posted something.

You should have better placed it in "WTF?" category.

[emoBillâ„¢ offline]

AH! PEOPLE ARE TAKING MY FORUM NAMES!

*taps foot* My forum name was Code: Xanadu... but I guess you can take it if you want...

I'm watching you guys

But I hope it goes well! Do you guys need me to do anything? I'm not good at HTML or anything... just artwork... like sectors and such... but I doubt you'll need that *scratches back of head*

[darktemplar offline]

I think you can contribute too. If you do not participate actively, you can still support us if you have any ideas

[emoBillâ„¢ offline]

Cool! What can I do?

[darktemplar offline]

Have any ideas for logo?

Really, even I don't know what should I do. If we get more people involved, we will be able to talk about anything at all.

[emoBillâ„¢ offline]

YAY! I made a banner for the forum. You guys should know how to put a banner in the logo space, right? And remember to us <center> and </center> tags!

For the site thingy I'll need the URL so I can take out the old URL of the forum and put in the new one and save it as a seperate picture.

[darktemplar offline]

Putting this as banner, or doing anything with forum is leaved to Lyoko is Cool, because he's admin =).

And that's Invision board, and I'm quite infamiliar with it(used phpBB whole life).

[emoBillâ„¢ offline]

OK! I'm pretty much familiar with phpBB too ^_^

[darktemplar offline]

Hey! I think we could get some hosting on sourceforge.net. 100 MB space, PHP, MySQL.. I'm hosting one project on it right now, so they may not allow me to be another's admin... let Lyoko is Cool do it(if he wants of course).

WARNING: Publishing files on sourceforge.net is done via SCP/SFTP, which is a bit complicated thing. You need to submit a key, and use it for logging in to server.

[emoBillâ„¢ offline]

Neat Even though I had no idea what you just said

[darktemplar offline]

PHP and MySQL is something forum needs to run on.. PHP is a script... I will not say you what PHP is.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL. SFTP stands for Secure FTP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol

Thanks for the banner Aelita, I'll get to work on those

i've been watching this topic as a guest for a long time now and i've noticed that many people are thinking about using a normal pc to run the virtual world (still debating whether to call it Lyoko or Xanadu) or hosting it on a web server.

So i'm thirteen but i'm very similar to Jeremy out of CL in the field of computers, but your going about this all wrong. In the show they use a QUANTUM COMPUTER which is different to a normal computer in many ways including the following:
1 --> A quantum computer needs a large amount of energy to run it (ie nuclear fuel cells)
2 --> A normal pc uses bits, bytes etc etc where as a quantum computer uses qubits, qubytes etc etc.
3 --> A quantum computer can be used to easily simulate real world physics ie gravity and trajectory, a normal pc would take ages to calculate it plus it would still wouldn't be as accurate.
4 --> The virtual world uses its own OS not another one like windows or linux/unix or Mac

So i've dropped a bomb on all of us and probably lowered everybodys spirits to the bear minimum but it's a hugh commitment, if any of you have seen "The Key" you'll know that Franz hopper had to use the RTTP feature over 2546 times, which equates to just under 7 years if each time reversal was used at the end of a 24 hour cycle (ie June 6 1994 --> June 7 1994 --> RTTP to June 6 1994 --> Loop).

Plus to make the codes to allow visitations you'll have to know alot it Physics and Quantum mechanics.

I hope i've given everyone something to think about and i hope that i happened dappened to many peoples hopes because i still think that it can be done.

Quantum computing can be simulated..

A normal pc uses bits, bytes etc etc where as a quantum computer uses qubits, qubytes etc etc.

I know about all this.. I know quantum computing a bit, this allows randomization. Same algorithm with same data can produce different results.

The virtual world uses its own OS not another one like windows or linux/unix or Mac

I think I've said something about it, haven't I?

A quantum computer can be used to easily simulate real world physics ie gravity and trajectory, a normal pc would take ages to calculate it plus it would still wouldn't be as accurate.

Do we need to use this <!> Newtonian or Einsteinian physics?

[jermey offline]

i agree i think we could with what we have

[X*A*N*A* offline]

YO. IM BACK WERE ARE WE WITH THIs sorry caps lock well anway just chekin in

Okay, let me set this straight. We ARE NOT making a real virtual world per se (if a virtual world can be called "real"). We ARE basically making a 3d model of all of Lyoko (which brings up an interesting point: How do we do sector 5? It changes too much). We aren't going to need a quantum computer or even a normal supercomputer. We're not messing around with physics within the world, trying to build a mechanism to return to the past, or doing anything like that, since we just don't have the resources. We are making something equivalent to a map that can be used in a videogame or something. At least, that's what I understand about it.

EDIT:I'd like to quote Jeremie Hopper in the first post of the topic. Note the bold/underlined text.

Okay, so we don't have quantum computers, externanium (or whatever) or the physics knowledge to create scanners. But, why not do what we can. Like make the actual lyoko virtual world. Hey, it's a video game.

IS it to late to join I'm preety good at testing thing and maybe I could come up with weapon and vehicle scematics And if you need a chat room I'm your man I have One on my website

Okay, Like make the actual lyoko virtual world.

Did anyone think virtual world=3d map?

[Vora Lyoko offline]

Okay, Like make the actual lyoko virtual world.

If that happened I'd be searching google till the day I die.

[Jazzy Josh offline]

We had already thought of using Milkshape 3D for the models.....I'll edit this in a few minutes...

[Osiris offline]

i like the look of using true vision 3D for it (http://www.truevision3d.com/)

[2 the infirmary! offline]

Well, if you do get around to start making stuff, you can somehow find the actual Lyoko landscape off of google, or you could make up a landscape. I made a desert plateau, just for kicks awhile ago...

just in case anybody wanted to go off of that.

[Daegon offline]

I'm new at programming, but I have a little experience from Tribes II, but I really need more training. I could do jobs 3 through 7, but then again my parents don't like me getting on the internet that often, and they are the ones who get me on at all, so I'd only be on about once a week. Just tell me what to do. Contact me @ Awgoodwin@netzero.net. Thank you for doing all you can. I'd start doing the same thing if I had your skills.

Daegon,

Edit What the hey? I post these things on the XANADU project and they end up here!

[Mewberries151]

Please don't triple post, Daegon. It's very spam-ish. Just use the "Edit" feature on the right side of your first post and add in whatever else you have to say, if you don't mind. I deleted the duplicate post and merged your third one for you, but please don't post in quick succession like that. Thanks.
