buildin' and scriptin'

I've begun a mockup in SL of my game. Here are a couple pics. It's taking longer than I thought it would to get this far, but it's also been fun.


So far there are about 25 prims. Probably will need to add another 15 or so to get everything displayed that I envision. I've messed around with scripts to get the text on there, and also just to begin to understand things like how to accept donations and how to get the basic text to display which hovers above the object.

I have a pretty good idea of many of the essentials of this stuff now ... but it will be a pretty good learning curve to continue onward. If you're interested in resources, two big ones on scripting are the Linden Scripting Language Guide (a 129 page PDF) and the LSL Wiki. I've also been saving tips and example scripts that look especially useful - see my ongoing list in delicious. Finally, here is a cool video (26 MB) on building in SL.
