Mesh?

I want to try making a game with Mesh!

How does that work? Why is it called [slider]? What are those other ones--light, sound, resistance-A, and so on? If you wanted, to, say, decrease a health bar, would you just broadcast a message to set a variable to the slider sensor value? Is the block itself a variable?

When you've connected 2 (or more) projects with Mesh, the other projects' variables will appear in the dropdown for that block.
And for future reference, ask these kinds of things in the main topic (i.e. Jonathanpb's thread) so that the forums don't get cluttered.  wink


Yawn.
