SL Script program

Hey guys,

I've heard rumours about a program outside SL that you can run that is a simulation of the LSL platform, does anyone happen to know if its true and where I can find it? I would really like to script from my office without having to download and use SL while here.

Thanks,
Krelish

Krelish,

I am currently playing about with LSL Plus for Eclipse. It seems promising. (I am a Mac user, and the Windows programs don't cut it for me!)

Good Coding,

Awesome, thank you... Now all I need to do is stop being lazy and try to figure out Eclipse =/. I'm also trying to learn java but godamnit Eclipse is confusing at times

There's also http://www.lsleditor.org/ but it hasn't been updated in about a year. Still nice, though.

Somebody else was talking here in the forums recently about some UMLish editor that they were wanted alpha testers for.. Dunno much more than that but it was here in the forums within the last few days.

LSLEditor works fine. You can't test a script under running conditions to see if your logic is any good without going in world, of course, but you can certainly get syntax correct and see if a script compiles.

A couple of things about LSLEditor, before the big plus (+++) I see with LSLPlus:

1) LSLEditor is Windows only. The world does not entirely run on Windows.

2) As mentioned, all you get is syntax and compilation with LSLEditor. As a RL systems designer, that's next to nothing. The proof is in the test, and if I can't test, I'd just as soon code in SL where I get the syntax, compilation and test all at once!

Now, with LSLPlus, you get the syntax, the compilation and the testing - along with debugging capability. But what's more, you can create an entire Sim prototype with avatars, objects inside other scripted objects such as notecards and rezzable items, interaction with dialogs, objects listening to other objects, et cetera. The only lack appears to be visual things like particles.

You CAN test scripts with the LSLEditor. I do that every day.

The new UML-based code-generator project that needs Alpha testers is at https://miceonabeam.fogbugz.com

Thanks Inde. However the web site you mentioned is for signed-up alpha-triallers only. For general information about the product please check out www.miceonabeam.com

LSLEditor does allow for more than syntax checking. You can fire events and test the code's response easily. The debugger is fairly useful in my experience.
