Scratch4Opensim - Scripting in OpenSim made easy

Scratch4Opensim

Scratch4Opensim is a great tool for creating easy scripts in OpenSim. It has been around for a few years now but everyone I talked to so far (in Holland) had never heard of Scratch. For simple tasks Scratch is perfect, it is fast and easy. And educators (like me) can use Scratch as a perfect tool to learn children and teens how to script.

To get an idea of what Scratch4Opensim can do there is this nice tutorial on Youtube to watch. In 9 minutes Avasari Buninyong shows the possibilities of Scratch4Opensim on a simple way.

New edition?Now you might think this is old news, but this summer (2011) some clever guys will work on a new version called Scratch3D. I think this will be an online version, made in Flash, where the old Scatch4Opensim version will be integrated. More info about this can be found at http://roots.greenbush.us/3/wordpress/?p=1368 

Any more scripting sites?

• At http://labs.greenbush.us/scriptastic/ you can find a page where you can create scripts, simple building with blocks like in Scratch. 
• At http://www.3greeneggs.com/autoscript/  you can find another text based scripting machine that is really fun to work with.
• And also have a look at http://foravatars.com/sandbox/lsl/

Try it for yourself and have fun this summer. Looking forward to see the new Scratch3D made in Flash!
