And so we were introduced to Second Life by the lecturer during one of our classes. Second Life is basically a Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game as far as I can tell. I am no stranger to the genre of game. The concept of having your own avatar in a simulation world inhabited by others was taught to me since my younger years by games I have played.
Our lecturer explained the concept of how the simulation world keeps on running even if you are not there to experience it. I can sense the fascination he has towards this game; of how he describes the game as a 'virtual world' inside the small computer which holds all the data. It reminded me of my early years playing MMORPGs, when I had a similar thought as his. And I still do.
The game itself is very basic in terms of interaction, and user-friendly. The WASD controls movement, and you can use the mouse to look around and interact with things by clicking them. There are other keys that controls jumping, flying, inventory, and more, but they are all easy enough to learn, in my opinion.
We were given the task of visiting places and experiencing them. I am looking forward towards the experience.
