Also, the kids and I had a lot of fun playing save the princess with around 13 of us. It was great watching them bound around the map and falling off the towers, haha. Now they are really inspired to make their own levels where we can race to the end, can't wait to play them!! Take care.

Saw the live modcast, cool project you have here, thanks for making it open source. I'm interested to hear how having all the kids in the same sandbox at once goes.
I'll be sure to keep everyone apprised :) I should take notes on what works and what doesn't. I did the camp last year, but it was only with 8 kids and I can't find my notes from it, noooo D: Ah well. Anyway, take care and thanks for your interest :D

Heya the coop edit has gone well for the most part. I had I think over 13 kids at one point which was a bit chaotic but once I threatened to turn off their comps if they messed with people's stuff things went a lot smoother. It was really cool to see the things they made. Today we had a smaller group, around 8 or so while other people made other coop lans and worked together. They really have a blast using Sandbox, I have to force them to take breaks!! And we're talking about a 7 hour day here! They also told me they don't want to leave. All great stuff. I'll be sure to update soon, for now I need to rest, phew, hehe. Take care!

Lol I'm using the cube 2 engine to make a game and post it here really Lol...
I like it alot. I don't, however, like some of the 3D models used though. They don't like that great.
many of them are incredibly simplistic, and we don't have many people contributing to art either.
if you feel like modeling some stuff, or looking about for FREE (not free as in no cost, or beer) stuff, give us a call :)
Its a stand alone game/engine, use it to create your own worlds and game if you want to.
Ok thanks :D
This looks awesome! I'm a little confused and I'm wondering, is this a mod for some game or it's own full game?
