The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linden_Scripting_Language '''Linden Scripting Language'''], usually just called '''LSL''' for short, is a language developed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linden_Lab Linden Labs] for their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life Second Life] virtual world. LSL allows Second Life objects to sense, respond to events, and interact with the (virtual) world around them, and the Avatars in that world.
==Flavors of LSL==
There are currently three flavors of the LSL language
# LSL compiled under [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software) Mono] (the most recent)
# The original interpreted version (no longer being developed and only exists for backward compatibility)
# A largely compatible version of LSL that can run in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSimulator OpenSimulator] virtual world.
==Documentation==
There are two popular web sites documenting LSL
# Second Life's own [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal LSL Portal]
# a user supported [http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php LSL Wiki]
==Libraries==
There exists several open source libraries where users share code
* [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Scripting-Library/bd-p/LSLScriptingLibrary LSL Scripting Library]
* [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Examples LSL Examples]
* [http://www.free-lsl-scripts.com/cgi/freescripts.plx Free LSL Scripts]
* [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Scripting/bd-p/LSLScripting LSL Scripting]
==External Editors==
There are also many [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Alternate_Editors external editors] for LSL allowing you to write, syntax check, and (to a limited extent) execute LSL outside of the Second Life environment. You will need to sign up at [http://secondlife.com Second Life] and have a Second Life account to execute LSL in the virtual world. Your scripts can exist by themselves in a folder of your inventory, or in an Object in your inventory, but need to be in an Object that is in-world to execute (if an Object containing scripts is taken in to your inventory, the scripts will be suspended and will resume when brought out in to the world again.)
