About me

Hi, I'm Suzanna, a teacher of scripting in-world, and a programmer in real life.

Classes

I'm excited to announce the launch of three new scripting class series designed to expand your skills and creativity in Second Life! Whether you're interested in integrating with external tools or diving into the future of scripting with SLua, there's something here for you.

Starting on September 8th. For more information, contact the instructor Suzanna (suzannalinn) or the teaching assistant Ali (sungali).

LSL - Web Server and MOAP (6 classes)

• Dates: September 8th - September 24th

• Days: Mondays and Wednesdays

• Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm SLT

• Level: advanced LSL

• Teachers: Suzanna (suzannalinn) & Ali (sungali)

• Format: text-only

• Required: play media enabled

• In-world location: Caledon Oxbridge (Main Lecture Hall) map to Caledon Oxbridge

We will learn advanced topics of handling HTTP requests, serving web pages directly from in-world objects, and leveraging MOAP to display web content on a prim surface. This will open up a myriad of possibilities for creators, from interactive displays and dynamic in-world advertising to complex web-based applications that integrate seamlessly with Second Life.

SLua - Basics (12 classes + 12 practices)

• Dates: October 1st - December 19th

• Day: Wednesdays (theory) and Fridays (practices)

• Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm SLT

• Level: beginner/intermediate in LSL, no prior SLua knowledge needed

• Teachers: Suzanna (suzannalinn) & Ali (sungali)

• Format: text-only

• Required: access to the Beta Grid

• In-world location:
  • main grid (Wednesdays): Builders Breweery (Sky Classroom) map to Builders Brewery
  • beta grid (Fridays): SLua Yardang (SLua Class Study Area) link to SLua Class

SLua is the future of scripting in Second Life—and it's already live on the Beta Grid! This series starts from the ground up and is designed to get you comfortable with the new Lua-based scripting system.

SLua - Advanced (12 classes + 12 practices)

• Dates: September 29th - December 18th

• Day: Mondays (theory) and Thursdays (practice)

• Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm SLT

• Level: intermediate in LSL, enough knowledge of SLua to rewrite LSL scripts

• Teachers: Suzanna (suzannalinn) & Ali (sungali)

• Format: text-only

• Required: access to the Beta Grid

• In-world location:
  • main grid (Mondays): Caledon Oxbridge (Main Lecture Hall) map to Caledon Oxbridge
  • beta grid (Thursdays): SLua Yardang (SLua Class Study Area) link to SLua Class

Already scripting in SLua? This advanced series unlocks powerful features and techniques that go far beyond what’s possible with LSL.

Study Groups

• Day: all Saturdays

• Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm SLT

• Level: all levels

• Teachers: Suzanna (suzannalinn) & Ali (sungali)

  • beta grid: SLua Yardang (SLua Class Study Area) link to SLua Class

Come with your questions, practices and projects, to chat about anything scripting related.

SLua: The New Scripting Language for SL

I'm writing an SLua guide with an overview of Lua, details on how to transition form LSL to SLua, examples and a transpiler LSL to SLua:
