Open Source Code For Accessing Second Life
posted by Editor on Thursday November 30, @06:07PM
Virtual Worlds libsecondlife is an open source library that enables the creation of third-party applications for accessing the Second Life virtual world. The library provides a networking abstraction layer for communicating with Second Life, supporting operations such as low-level network packet construction, as well as high level abstractions of avatars. A few applications have already become available, including a primitive alternative to the Second Life client called Slight. Some controversy arose after a program was built using the library that enabled Second Life property to be duplicated arbitrarily, which was seen as a potential risk to the thriving commerce that has developed in the virtual world. However, Linden Lab, Second World's developer and operator, still appears to encourage the project.
