Documentation

Demonstration of a derived class which includes simple model manipulation. Rather than hack into existing code to create new functionality, this second generation version of Limbo is intended to allow for extensibility through subclassing. This simple class is an example which uses a database client for sharing state information.

Three light sabers are loaded into the application, and each of the three CAVE Wand buttons will snap one of the wands into the user's hand. There is no protocol for blocking, but this is rather intended as a simple example.

void checkButtons()
Check for user input. Each of the CAVE Wand buttons is associated with one of the light sabers. This method checks to see which button was pressed. It snaps the appropriate saber to the user's hand position and orientation. That transformation matrix is sent transparently to other users through the use of the pfNetDCS class.

This class has no child classes.
