IBM Codestation: Labyrinth

I have just added a new landmark giving poster to the exhibition (near the SW door) for IBM Codestation: Labyrinth Beta.

This looks a really fascinating sim with great potential. At present it consists of

1) A library of free scripts/objects
2) An amphitheatre, with sandbox type permissions, where individuals and groups can practice and collaborate on creating scripted objects.
3) A robot maze labyrinth, where individuals can improve their scripting skills by developing a robot that navigates the in-world maze!

It's beta at present so well worth visiting to see how it changes...

Latest Exhibition Update: University of Greenwich

As the HND and the FdEng are University of Greenwich courses, I have added an additional poster at the very end of the exhibition linking to the University's Website.

Resetting scripts

Decka told me how to reset all scripts in a selected object using an option from the tools menu. This was especially useful as a visitor had played with the Faciltatir platform and left it in disarray. By resetting all scripts in the central podium and one of the flying platforms all was well again. This only seems to work for the owner of the object, but is useful when you do not have reset access to individual scripts within an object.

Apparently it is also important to link scripted objects in a particular order. I must find out more...

Latest Exhibition Update: Data Storage

I have just finished constructing a new poster (38) to cover the important topic of data storage using lists in SL.

I have also added the poster to the THiNC booklet, which has been on sale for a week now. If you bought the old booklet without this poster please IM me and I will drop a copy of the new booklet into your inventory.

Teleport problems

I have noticed that the teleport to Shimmer Island doesn't seem to always work properly any more. I have found myself at the bottom of the sea more than once lately! I can only presume there is a server traffic problem. You can always fly driectly to Shimmer Island as it's in our group of islands. Head off out of the exhibition front door and fly 3 blocks west and then turn and fly one block north.

Improvements to the exhibition

I have made a number of improvements to the exhibition this weekend:

1) Installation of Decka's Decks conference facility on level 1
2) I have doubled the size of the level 1 platform
3) I have removed the level 2 platform altogether
4) I have added a blog posting tool to the contact poster so visitors can blog feedback directly in world

To come:

1) Need to get my head around Thinc book and create a book from the exhibition posters.

All I need is some time...

Notecard Problems

I noticed that since I made the exhibition partitions transparent and set the notecards to be one way, the notecard giver was also trying to give away the oneway script to anyone who touched the notecard. I modified the notecard give away script to prevent this from happening.
