Still Learning Second Life Script

I'm still learning a lot about Second Life scripting even though I've been through a couple of rounds of what I would call significant digging. The latest learning as you might know from this blog was a Tic-Tac-Toe game I built. I've been working on another game, still in the rough draft phase trying to discern what might be possible and found a page of examples on the lsl wiki.

I was digging through these and found a full example of building a Tic-Tac-Toe game. Had I known this existed, I probably wouldn't have read it before hand anyways because I sometimes like to figure stuff out then compare to how others solve the same problems.

As I expected, we went about it in different ways, but I do think that both solutions are fairly equal. I did force people to sit at the table and after I was done thought it would be better to have people simply click to choose sides. He did the later and it is a lot easier to setup than the code I did to watch for people that sit down. Good learning experience though.

One of the best parts of this example is the discussion on Version Control. (http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=ExampleTicTacToeVersionControl) This is something I struggled with early on and he has a very elegant solution to keep all the scripts in the root prim and copy them out to the child prims when you type "/1 listen" into chat. I spent a lot of time reading this section of the example and will probably be implementing something similar for a future game. A full example isn't given and it glosses over some of the aspects that make this a general use solution so this is definitely going to be home grown.

I haven't really gotten past that page yet and I'll have to spend some time to finish it. Very worthwhile reading.
