b162 - Leaves testing, UFO!

[par]

Hey, guys!

1. Leaves
This time I want you to help us to test the final version of leaves effect.
Check the leaves in all landscapes, under various wind conditions.
Please let us know if you like the effect.
Does it look a feel natural for you?

I intentionally make leaves available in all seasons now so it is easy for you to test.

2. New feature - UFO.
Well, an UFO can fly into a landscape and be there for a while.
UFOs appear in 10 - 15 minutes intervals.

And the special thing is that UFO can steal a horse or cow

To launch an UFO instantly type "ufo" on the keyboard.

Do you like UFO?

Hi Pasha,

I have keyed in "ufo" and have not seen anything yet.

I switched to "Airport" and got the attached as a landscape.

Hi Pasha, Hi Marty,

I have the same airport as Marty described.

To see a UFO, you need to:
1. Wait for an animal in the village landscape to appear.
2. Type the letters UFO.
3. If the animal freezes the UFO will appear.
4. Wait for up to 30 seconds for it to appear.
5. No animal, no UFO.

If there is a second animal in the landscape that will either freeze or disappear a few seconds after the UFO has gone.

Allthough this is the first unnatural feature I like it and I think it's well animated.

The leaves animations look good to me.

Fred
PS: Experimenting with the UFO feature may cause animals no longer will appear.
You need to Quit and restart YoWindow then.

Thank you Fred!!

Mansfield is showing a snow landscape today, so no animals.
I switched to Don's Roseville in California.

Hi Pasha,

I have tried different landscapes with keying in "ufo".
The only landscapes that I see UFOs in are Village and Oriental.

In Oriental, the UFOs perform completely different than in Village.
The UFOs in both landscapes are very interesting and fun!!!

Are UFOs possible in all landscapes?
