Here's one way to use nested rules in Kodu. In this example, rules 3 and 4 won't run unless rule 2 is true. What we're doing here is using score to keep track of ammo. When the user presses the trigger, we check the score. If it's above zero, we shoot. If it's zero, we play a sad...

PC Kodu is going to have file import and export for Kodu Worlds. This will let you export a world, email it to someone, and have them open it using Kodu on their machine. The goal is to enable you to use *any* sharing mechanism to share Kodu worlds. Want to make a gallery? Great! Use your favorite tool...

Okay, this is annoying. After uploading the patch for peer review, we found a pretty serious bug. So we took it down, fixed the bug (go Steve!) and uploaded the patch again. UH OH Creator's club doesn't let you restart a peer review. You have to wait 7 days. Isn't that incredibly annoying...

Tavishhill2003 is one of the acknowledged masters of Kodu set building. He has completely outdone himself. I pulled these screens from a fantastic new video up on the 'tube. Recommend you go see it there because there is some beautiful dynamic lighting and shakycam work. Out. Stand. Ing. Honestly...

Next patch will let you scale all kinds of things in the world. Mark's been cranking this out and making sure that it works well with physics and the like. Tiny motorcyles are really, really cute :) This patch will probably land in early September - it won't be as big as the last patch but we...

Hi folks, just back from vacation and travel. Pardon my pause. I've finally got my first "kodu gallery" video ready to post, but I've found a lot of cool kodu videos already existing. Always one to let the community lead the way, here's some pointers to some of the cooler stuff...

We're excited to hear what you think of it. The well-known sharing sessions should be visible in the share hub screen later this evening. -Eric

Health bars of linked-clones did not properly expand when the number of hit points was increased. Magic brush is no longer active when starting a new empty world, if it was the active brush in the previous world. Autosave files occasionally stopped showing up. Start button now toggles the mini-hub. Sound...

Brian scratched up some really cool Kodu tshirts. Since we did all the icons for the Kodu language in a resolution-independent format, they reproduce nicely at large sizes. Some feature one icon very large and a few have little Kodu code snippets - sort of a nerd joke with style. Have a look - and notice...

"Once you’ve selected your sprite, you are tasked with programming how it interacts with the game. For example, you can program it to react to “bumps” (running into another sprite or a world object). Or you can make it react to different buttons used on the controller. In the 2nd...

Brian's just going nuts on the cool desktops. I've been out sick *cough* *cough* Late-breaking stuff coming in the patch is much, much tighter control of character movement. We mean it. :)

I'm testing the patch tonight. We're considering it for playtest - probably tomorrow. Can you identify the changes in this picture? The fixes are: highlighting within the helix menu speed multiplier max raised from 2 to 5 new object tweak turn speed mutliplier, same range as speed multiplier
