Scripter extraordinaire, Timeless Prototype, has launched the 3rd Annual Sattelite Exhibition, featuring “useful, interesting or fun autonomous scripted objects”. In past years, this event has been full of cool gadgets and tools that push the limits of scripting in Second Life.
The Cubey Terra “base” is located in the 3ASE 1 sim.
Although my forte is piloted aircraft and parachutes rather than autonomous objects, I cobbled together a self-piloting lunar lander that does a little loop around the exhibition site. A fairly large chunk of the autopilot script (meaning almost all of it) was actually lifted from an airplane autopilot by Apotheus Silverman, so I can’t take credit for that. But it looks nifty.
The exhibition runs from Monday March 19 to Sunday March 25 in the sims 3ASE 1 and 3ASE 2, with a special event on Saturday. If you have scripted something that you want to show off, contact Timeless Prototype. There are still exhibit spaces available.
