- The best swing set in SL that you can actually PLAY!
- 3 different animations, smooth swing! And you control how it goes.
- You just have to come and see it for yourself.

You may:

1. Play it alone. Use "↑" and "↓" keys or use your mouse cursor to apply necessary force by pulling the physics objects.
2. Play it with your friends; Avatars can physically interacts with the swing set to apply swing momentum. If done correctly, 360˚ rolling is possible.
3. Switch between sit, stomach sit and stand poses using ← and → keys.
4. Adjust height using PageUp and PageDown keys.

********************
Why it is unique
*********************

1. The Duo Swing Set is an one prim A frame sculpture (swing set rezzer), which will rez one hinge and two physics objects (i.e., swing seats) when placed in-world.
2. This special swing set has been designed to take full advantage of the latest physics engine on the SL server in order to give users a better and realistic experience.

******************
IMPORTANT!
******************
1. Prior to rezzing the swing set, make sure you have enough space to properly set up the swing set. You must rez it on a flat surface.
2. When swing set is rezzed, wait until swing seats settle. If the swings are jumping around, remove any object that could interfere with them. Move your avatar 3 meter away from it.
3. You may relocate the swing rezzer or change its directions by dragging or rotating the swing set rezzer (the A frame) at any time. If you move or relocate the transparent hinge, it will snap back to its previous position.
4. To take back the swing set, only take back the rezzer and the rest of components will delete themselves.
5. By default, any avatar is allowed to move the swing seats. If you want to revoke this permission, uncheck "Allow anyone to move" on the object's Edit window.
6. If either hinge or swing seats has been deleted or has been moved to another sim, the rezzer will automatically rez the missing component.

How to play
****************
1. After seated, start moving your avatar by pressing the ↑ or ↓ key. The direction of ↑ and ↓ force is the same as the viewing direction of your camera. Remember, each keystroke represents small amount of force, so you may need to tap multiple times.
2. If you are looking from either side of your avatar, the applied force will be minimum. Reposition your camera so you are looking at either the front or the back of your avatar.
3. To disable swing control, press Shift+A (or Shift + ← key) to unlock your camera.
4. To switch animations, press ← or → key.

FAQ
*********
1. Swing seats keep jumping and do not seem to stop.

Remove any nearby object or walk 3 meter away from it. Alternatively, you may reposition the swing rezzer itself.

2. Swings stop prematurely.

Remove grass or anything that could interfere the swing seats. Your avatar when seated should have enough clearance above the ground.

3. How long would swing motion last?

The swing could run its course until the physics object loses its momentum. A half cycle swing motion could take several minutes before it completely stops.

4. Why do the hinge and swing seats disappear after taking swing set rezzer back?

When rezzer is removed from in-world, both hinge and two swing seats will disappear. To take swing set back you may take the rezzer (i.e., A frame) only. Or you may take them as a group.
