Xiguous FAQ

This FAQ is for questions concerning Xiguous, an XSLT application layer for building virtual worlds.

Why so many functions, rather than templates?

It's partly a question of (Mark's) taste. But, also, func:functions plus dyn:eveluate() equal a flexible mechanism for controlling the execution of code at the application level.

Will Xiguous enable me to build a 3D virtual world?

6 Jan 2009 at 01:00 by mark

3D is a client issue, and there's no reason why Xiguous couldn't be used to control the display of 3D images on clients. However, if 3D means Doom-style real-time animation, Xiguous is probably not the best choice. It was designed to handle 2.5D, ie characters that move principally in 2D, but which are represented by the client using some form of 3D projection.
