Moving on to Loops

We're nearly ready to learn loops. So, by the end of the day, we will have covered the basic structure of LSLWiki programs, if-then statements, and loops -- which, from what I can tell, are the basics of programming.

The kids have now learned enough that they've started to mine Ed's programs on his Second Life blog. William was able to turn his rocket into a particle generator without any help. Hopefully, after Friday, most of them will be able to manipulate the scripts that they find on-line and get objects to do what they want them to do.

We're pleased! They're really catching on.

They asked today if it was possible to do videos in SL. I showed them some of the videos that Ed found on YouTube. I suspect, we'll have some short films by the end of tomorrow!
