Ordinal
was
playing with Metaplace for a little while, though I am not sure I have the time to learn _another_ scripting language. Not today anyway.
Sylvie
wonders
what Metaplace is?
Viv
says
Raph Koster's virtual world. Looks like gauntlet. Is more fun.
Sylvie
says
thank you
Ordinal
says
It is quite fun, and certainly the best of the "make a virtual place" sites around that I have seen.
Ordinal
says
I would need to put in a lot of time, though, to have it do all the silly things I would want, and time is in short supply.
Viv
says
what's the base language? I got stalled a bit with the available assets and then started scripting some stuff otherwheres for a bit.
Ordinal
says
Lua. I do actually have a book on Lua, which I bought when Metaplace was first announced. It is literally covered with dust now.
Viv
says
push it through the interwebs; I'll dust it for you.
Ordinal
says
To be honest it seems like one of those many perfectly serviceable little scripting languages with similar syntax and an appealing name.
Viv
says
ah. doable then.
Viv
says
as long as the similarity doesn't run through coldfusion logic.
Ordinal
thinks
that it is used quite extensively in games programming.
grumbles: I know ...

METAPLACE!
