Coming Soon

I hope you or I soon will ...

1. Complete the Talk:LlSetText work thru the Bug_Reporting_101 process to file a JIRA feature request to add llGetText to the built-in functions of LSL.
2. File a JIRA re the LL client losing profile edits contributed by people who don't know to click OK to save them.
3. File a JIRA re my user page at Wiki.secondlife.com not knowing how to feed from my profile in world.
4. Complete the LSL_Protocol/ListMessage work of rewriting the Chatbot to expand indefinitely out past the 16 KiB limit on code space per script.
5. Finish translating GettingSLStartedToLearnLSL into English.

Scripts

Chatbot - Compile and run the LSL you chat on a channel

Describe Chatter - Chat to see yourself as others do

Functions

Code Racer - Race two versions of code forever, to see which runs faster.

hex - Explore the seemingly simple job of listing the hex nybbles of a signed integer with concise & conventional code.

separateWords - Works like llParseString2List without limiting you to 8 spacers or separators, unless you violate the preconditions, all by way of concise & conventional code.

Slice List String Etc - Return empty lists and strings when expected, while slicing lists or strings.

Demoes

Efficient Hex - Also serve the clever & small & fast experts, not just we brief & clear & conventional newbies.

Hello Avatar - Visually powerful single lines of code.

llGetLinkKey - Drag a script on to linked and unlinked prims, with avatars sitting or not, to see how llGetLinkKey relates to llGetKey, llGetLinkNumber, llGetNumberOfPrims, LINK_ROOT, etc.

LSL Errors - Astonishing compile and run-time errors

Explanations

GettingSLStartedToLearnLSL - Tutorial for programmers first entering SL mainly to learn LSL. Skip this if you know basic SL inventory and navigation already.

LSL Write Once Debug Everywhere - How to run well and compile without error in many places

Thanks

Thanks to you and everyone else here for encouraging this nascent institution of the LSL wiki.

Thanks to Huney Jewell for suggesting always thinking to add sample results together with sample code, for fitting my first LSL Example to the LSL_Editing_Primer style (specifically the Separate Words example), and also for explaining llGetFreeMemory before that article did.

Thanks to Ppeennyy Lynagh for leading me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exemplar where I see Kuhn define an "exemplar" as a solution paired with a problem to teach the new people how to solve problems.

Thanks to Steamy Latte for volunteering to translate into English the GettingSLStartedToLearnLSL tutorial for programmers new to SL.

Thanks to Strife Onizuka first for a world of hints carefully posted all over this wiki, second for the patient struggle thru the division of hex from Efficient Hex that first clearly separated the brief & clear & conventional exemplars from the clever & small & fast exemplars, third for helping to verbalise the four preconditions of llParseString2List, etc. etc. etc.

Thanks to Thraxis Epsilon for contributing startswith and endswith to llSubStringIndex, and for introducing me to the __TOC__ tag at hex.

Thanks to TimZim Teatime for finding the Windows world that refused to compile an early version of the thousand lines of Chatbot.

Thanks to Xaviar Czervik for the hints of String Compare, Prefix Calculator, Efficiency Tester, etc.

Thanks to this wiki for the hints of delightfully concise Getting Started with LSL tutorial.
