Hi,

Regarding putting in place separate scripts to hold data only, and using either (a) llMessageLinked or (b) llSay/Shout/Whisper to pass values between the CONTROLLER and the data script...is there a good sample script / framework that is available to use here? i.e. generic/re-usable script.

Or in fact, following the MVC design concept (separate Model [data], View[e,g, scoreboard] and Controller functions) whether there is a good set of scripts that follow this approach/framework that could be used as a solid starting point?

Tks

I created a set of scripts that sticks to those design principles (for the most part) for the SL Public Library's in-world book terminal. I have yet to release the scripts opensource, mainly becuase I think they really need commentary. I havent had a lot of time on my hands recently, so things havent progressed on that front. Look for them in the coming few weeks.

How much storage are you needing?

Alondria - not a huge amount - just storing high score and status for say 10-20 people. So say 20 x (3 strings/numbers) for example. I am interested in the re-use concepts & best ways of doing things, hence the reason for my post.

Chris - you wouldn't consider shooting (private mail say) me a copy I don't support - just to look at approach/technique? (i.e. I'm trying to do something now)

What about this as an approach? (see designs embedded - 2 JPEGs)
