Free scripting tools for Second Life.
Built by Builders Brewery — a not-for-profit that has been helping creators learn, mess up safely, and try again since 2008.
This is a restart of our old GitHub work. The earlier repos are archived, with thanks to the people who built them.
Come sit at the bench. Bring a script. Pineapples optional.
| If you want to... | Go here |
|---|---|
| Learn LSL by poking at small examples | examples/beginner/ |
| Practice SLua between classes | examples/slua/ |
| Copy a tiny everyday recipe (door, etc.) | tools/recipes/ |
| Understand how this sits next to live classes | docs/COMPLEMENTARY_TO_CLASSES.md |
| Just get oriented | docs/QUICK_START.md |
Best classroom: the Builders Brewery Sandbox (SLua-enabled).
Best follow-up: class, study group, or Discord — not staring at an error alone.
SLua is based on Luau. That's the language, not the feast.
- Beginners who want one clear idea per script
- Intermediate folks wiring dialogs, listeners, Linkset Data, HTTP
- Advanced tinkerers who need a starting point, not a novel
- Teachers who want a public practice bench that does not steal their class packets
- Curious people who are not in a class right now and still want to learn
- Leveled LSL examples (beginner → advanced)
- SLua Practice Toolbox — tiny
.luauscripts, a phrasebook, sandbox challenges - Everyday recipe cards
- A Sublime Text package skeleton + a generator that pulls official Linden Lab language data
- Docs written so limited-staff volunteers can keep this alive
- Official Linden Lab docs win if something here disagrees.
- Clarity beats cleverness.
- Teacher-owned class materials stay with the teachers. Topics are open.
- This is a community workbench, not an official Linden Lab product.
