> Q. for multi-scene games, how / where is game state -such as scoring, level, persona- carried over to subsequent scenes after an Anchor? Is there an SAI field on the Browser that can be set with (name,value) pairs from Script nodes/javascript, and if so which field(s)? Or is there another paradigm?

[Christoph:] You could load one "master scene" by the Web3D browser, add modules/levels (whatever you call them) dynamically using the method Browser.createVrmlFromUrl() as children of a grouping node. Then you could store your state in the "master scene". You would need to define an interface between the "master scene" and your modules/levels

Do not know whether to call this a "paradigm", it's just a possibility, and it needs more scripting than a simple anchor.
