So what you and I need as enterprising young scripters, willing to slave long and hard to make a name for ourselves in this brand new world building bots and things and widgets and guns and swords and ghosty doors and stuff. Is the ability to do it without having to be in Second Life at all. Why? Well, for one thing Second Life can be highly distracting, friends, beautiful avatars, (and victims) nice scenery.... (Although if you're going to have this problem you probably won't be saved with this tool.) And secondly it allows us to do this in an environment that is not subject to other people's equipment. Look, I love Second Life and I think they do pretty well, but if your PC goes down it's your problem, if SL goes down, you can't fix it. This allows the scripting portion of things to move offline to be worked on even if the grid comes down. In the author's own words:
"LSL-Editor is a standalone LSL (Secondlife) script editor and run-time
environment for Windows and compiles and executes LSL scripts. No SecondLife
viewer is needed nor connection to the SecondLife grid.The program is updated on
regular intervals. When the project emerges, more and more code can be compiled,
debugged, and tested outside SecondLife world."
If you're an lsl scripter this is a great tool, the ability to make scripts outside of second life with full access to the lsl wiki and the examples there? This will help you learn scripting.
Just be careful when the first life boss walks by.
