How to Make an Avatar Walk Around a Virtual World
Many virtual worlds can be found online, including Cyberworld, Second Life and IMVU. These games require users to create an avatar, which is a digital representation of a person, to explore the world. Although each game allows avatars to perform different actions, all virtual worlds allow avatars to walk around, and almost all require users to use the same keys to perform this action.
