How it works (and how it doesn’t)

What is Second Life?
(It’s like first life, but you can fly.)

You can make your own stuff…

…and write your own software...

How it works, today and tomorrow
![Page 25: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SL (the software) has two primary components: Viewer and Simulator
A user’s PC
A Linden Lab server
![Page 26: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The simulator
• Monolithic C++ application• Linux • 15,400 concurrent sims• Fixed 256m x 256m size• Havok Physics• LSL Scripting• Visibility Calculation• Scene compression and streaming• Closed source
![Page 27: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The viewer
• Monolithic C++ application• Windows, Mac OS X, Linux • 50,000 concurrent viewers• Creation tools built-in• No client scripting• No plugins• Open source!
BTW: go download the code!

A simple plan
![Page 29: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
...with global data
![Page 30: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
...and permanent storage
![Page 31: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
...and external communicatons
![Page 32: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
...and it needs to scale
![Page 33: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
...so not really simple, OR a plan

Legacy components

Time to modernize
![Page 36: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

SL is a World filled with Avatars

These could be self-contained units

For a larger scale

Toward a global platform
![Page 41: Second Life How It Works And How It Doesnt](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5555d276d8b42aaf158b4dba/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Second Life is a huge success, and the more people use it, the more interesting it gets. What you can do and be and create in this virtual world is limited only by SL technology, so we will never stop improving that technology. At the same time, we recognize that SL cannot truly succeed as long as one company controls the grid, so we must work toward opening the platform.
All of which is to say: we’re only just getting started.
