Thanks so much for this Article Galaxy Littlepaws! My name is Paul, but way back in 2005 - I became known as Fire Centaur in Second Life. I actually created several products in the Marketplace, using prims and LSL. One of my proudest contributions is my Game Buzzer marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Game-...

I'd love to know what you are currently programming in LSL

I'm glad you liked my post!

Currently I'm working hard on fixing up a breedable system (I had bought some code in production, but something happened due to relying on the old backend that I've been fixing ever since). I think the next time I do code for a breedable, it will be far more efficiently done due to so many changes that have happened in LSL the past few years, such as LinkSetData. I'll have to write all about it when the time comes.

One big thing I plan on working on is a role-play system for cat avatars, allowing things like hunting, fishing, fighting enemies, and so on. I haven't quite found anything that does that yet and it would be a lot of fun. I think it would be a great exercise in writing games for Second Life, and I will be releasing that code as Open Source.
