This Sea Turtle will swim in the water on your Second Life property, but never repeat the same path! A chaotic algorithm makes it behave in complex ways without being random. It is a physical object and moves very smoothly. It will briefly rise out of the water, but it will not swim into the ground or outside of the sim boundaries. It will stay inside the water of your parcel, or nearby water if enabled. You can ride the turtle and direct it where to go with the motion control keys. However, this turtle has a mind of its own and will not violate the boundaries it has been set to stay in. By default only the owner can change the options, but it has an unlock mode that allows your friends to control it using the dialog menu. Anyone is always allowed to ride the sea turtle. It has a modes to ignore, avoid or turn towards nearby avatars. The turtle is normally a phantom object and swims through obstacles in its path. However, it has a mode where it attempts to detect objects in its path and turn away. When not avoiding an object or turning to stay in bounds, the turtle will normally travel in a sinusoidal path, but has an option for going in straight lines.
Visit the Ocean Engineering Store, Medazzaland (115, 8, 21), for more autonomous swimming creatures that exhibit complex behavior. Or go straight to the Ocean Engineering Cove, Medazzaland (27, 120, 12), to see the Sea Turtle swimming in the kelp forest. Grab one and let it take you for a ride!
Enter this world if you are at least 13 years of age (13 to 18yrs parent consent required). A number of free client programs, or Viewers, enable Second Life users, called Residents, to interact with each other through avatars.
