The Electric Sheep Company’s Christian Westbrook has an update on his blog today about the open-source Second Life simulator mentioned here yesterday. The code for the roll-your-own sim is now available as an open-source project, OpenSim, on the OpenSecondLife Web site. “The simulator does not interact with SL’s asset server in any way, supports server-side scripting via Lua, and uses simple flat files to store asset information at this point,” Christian writes. Check in with him or OpenSim if you want to lend a hand. As reader otakup0pe Neumann noted here, the sim is so far “rather rough around the edges. . . . That being said, it will certainly help some forms of testing and might see some interesting applications for off-grid building areas.” Very cool.
