From Virtual World To Mobile Gaming

Posted by Zonk on from the second-life-plus-ingenuity-equals-profit dept.

The site Clickable Culture has a piece on a game coming soon to a mobile device near you. The game, Tringo, comes from an unusual source: the virtual world Second Life. From the article: "Tringo, invented by SL resident Kermitt Quirk over his Christmas holidays, blends the sensibilites of Tetris and Bingo. It's a game of skill, but the stakes can be quite high. Not only is Tringo well-designed, taking Second Life's technical parameters into consideration, but its popularity is growing."

    So he spends his Xmas holiday playing Second Life? The title kind of predicates that you had a first life to begin with.
