First Technical Look at the Second Life Client

Posted by Zonk on from the go-make-it-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Second Life is a virtual world, maintained through a combination of client software and hosting servers. It has the unusual quality that nearly all of the content is user-provided. It is also unusual in that Linden Labs recently announced the release of its client software as open source. This is something that is rarely, if ever, done in commercial MMO apps. This article introduces the client (or "viewer" in Linden terminology) and explores the Second Life development environment."

  1. First Technical Look Is Not Much... by __aaclcg7560 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

    I guess we're going to have to wait for the Second Technical Look before we can see anything.
