Final UT3 Environmrnt

Published.zip
The file above is our final UT3 model, created by ET3 team.

Aim:
Create a game in UT3 which is inspired by the snakes and ladders game.

Definition of snakes and ladders:
In the original snakes and ladders game,
people played between 2 or more players on a playing board with numbered grid squares.
On certain squares on the grid are drawn a number of "ladders"
connecting two squares together,
and a number of "snakes" or "chutes" also connecting squares together.
Players take turns to roll a single dice to move and aim for completion,
they land on the lower-numbered end of the squares with a "ladder",
they can move their token up to the higher-numbered square.
If they land on the higher-numbered square of a pair with a "snake",
they must move their token down to the lower-numbered square.
(wiki, snakes and ladders, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_and_ladders#Playing)

Distinctive elements between the original "S&L" and our game
- a 3 dimensions gaming space rather than the original grid paper.
- using matinee method to control people going up and down to express the concept of "snakes and ladders"
- people can choose they way to go to the goal (the top) instead of the dice
- players never know they will go up or down until they stepped on the slabs, which can increase the fun and interest
- players can shoot or kill their competitors during the game

The story of our game
- the death mode game which only allow one player to be survived
- escape from the exploding space
- reach the teleporter on the top by jumping on the slabs
- failure of landing on slabs or falling may cause injure or even death
