Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Scripting Your World: The Official Guide to Scripting for Second Lifeis the only book that offers a complete scripting solution for Second Life residents and developers in an engaging, beautiful, full-color package. It stresses custom solutions and understanding the “why” of scripting and can also be used as library of starting points for scripting various behaviors. The book begins by teaching Linden Scripting Language conventions and then offers a comprehensive collection of use-case driven scripts in a popular tutorial format. It will make complex behaviors easy to understand and achieve for scripters, and it will offer more than 50 ready-to-use scripts that haven't been published elsewhere. These scripts are logically grouped: avatar movement, communications, prim and object control, automation, land control, combat, special effects, environment control and physics, and interacting with the world outside of Second Life. Written by Second Life residents who are hard-core enterprise developers with a proven track record of knowing what programmers want and tech edited by Wednesday Grimm, one of Second Life’s most notorious scripters, Scripting Your Worldis sure to be a treasured resource for anyone who wishes to quickly become an efficient and effective SL scripter.

 

A supporting web site will include scripts, additional code samples, forums, book updates, and more information about scripting for Second Life. It will become a key destination and community site for scripters who currently must struggle to synthesize the disorganized Second Life scripting information that is scattered about in various locales.

Synopsis:
