Virtual Train Set

[neil9999]

Hi,

Here is a virtual train set I've made. To place a piece, select it from the drop-down and click 'Go!'. The train will always start on the top-right hand square, then go right.

When you open the page, enter how many rows and columns there should be in the grid: the default is 16 X 16.

Any comments and/or suggestions appreciated,

Neil

That is way cool for a JS game. A suggestion would be to create some maps and have people try to figure out where the train will end up.

Thanks for the positive feedback! Do you mean like those things where lots of objects are joined to each other by lots of squiggly lines, and you have to work out which are joined to which?

I'm working on a method where to lay the track you just drag the mouse where you want the track, and therefore train to go.

Thanks,

Neil

I agree that is pretty neat! Good Job! :thumbsup: Seems you left out the train image from the zip file though.

Thanks! And whoops! Here's the new ZIP, containing all the files.

Thanks neil, I've updated it. Also there is one very minor problem. In your script images are called as .gif but they are actually .GIF. On case sensitive servers (like LiveScripts) it means the images don't work. I have fixed them on the site but you may like to fix them in the ZIp file.

Awesome script & great fun to play with!

Umm I'm getting an error in firefox 0.9. But fine in IE.

Error: event is not defined
Source File: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Dave/Desktop/train/generatesquares.htm
Line: 189

These must be the problem lines then:

xpos=document.body.scrollLeft+event.x;
ypos=document.body.scrollTop+event.y;

Do you know which version of javascript your browser is ? (sorry, I don't have it). Netscape (http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/event.html#1193137) says that the event object is implemented in Javascript 1.2, other than that I can't think why it doesn't work.

GeForce:-thanks for that. I think I've changed them all now; the new version is attatched.

Thanks all,

Neil

EDIT:-I've changed all the ZIPs attatched to the new version.

So I haven't made a duplicate of something for once :D :D :D . I've seen it in places like this (http://www.hornbyrailways.com/pages/prod_det.aspx?id=2144) before, but not with the trainset as a webpage.

Thanks,

Neil

I did a Google search on virtual train set (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=virtual+train+set), and I found a Java virtual train set but look what's second!
