Welcome to the Offline Tutorial for Building with Flatland's Rich Media
This 3DML building guide has everything you need to learn everything there is to know about building with 3DML. The best place to start is the "tutorial", which will guide you step-by-step through making your first spots. The "blockset guide" is a reference guide for all of the blocks that are available to you when you are building your spots. The "3DML tag guide" is a quick reference that lists all of the tag syntax in 3DML. And once you've built your spots, you can learn how to publish them on the web in "publish your spot."
NEW ROVER RELEASE! STREAM POWERED!
We're thrilled to announce the latest release of Flatland Rover, version 1.5.1. There's a lot of
special things about this new release, such as...
- Streaming Video!
Now you can enrich the media in your spot with real live streaming video!
Read about how to stream video in your spot in
the tutorial.
Version Parameter
In case your spot uses features (like...oh...say....video...) that require a certain
version of Rover, you can now designate the version of Rover your visitor needs in order
to experience your spot.
Read more about the version parameter in the
tutorial.
Proximity trigger for the <Action> tag
We've modified your trigger to prolong the action...introducing the
proximity trigger for the <Action> tag..
Read more about using proximity with your trigger
in the tutorial.
As with all new releases, a full list of new features in
handy bite-sized chunks.
But wait!
There's one more special thing about the latest Rover release. Due to hidden update voodoo,
Rover will not automagically update itself from version 1.4.3 to the latest release, 1.5.1. For
this one time, you'll need to re-download Rover, simply by clicking right here.

No really, it's true. Our intrepid programmer is deep in the lab now, welding together
a version of Rover that will speak with Macs fluently! In early 2000, you'll be able to cruise through
your favorite spots with your favorite iMac flavor. Stay tuned! Subscribe to Spotlight above
if you'd like to be informed when the Mac port of Rover will be available.
