Unable to create the game at all
I was unable to create the game in second life at all I could not get any code working not even a simple collision detection working on a non physical object, I could not get the ball physics to work and I could not get the paddles to become vehicles nothing about this game has gone right unfortunately in hindsight I feel I should have gone with a game that does not require vehicles at all, A simon sez or a game where the goal is to simply get the ball in the hole with with touch commands.

Starting the game
We were asked to build a game within second life I decided to build a pong game.
To start I built a skybox in this I will build my game I made a box and changed the size in the edit panel to make it flat a long this will be the base of my skybox

I used the X,Y and Z Size to get a even spread.
I then applied a texture so I can identify my box easier and it looks better than a plain box.
This is the final result of of building and texturing the box.
I than added 4 other walls on the box and moved them all into place using the X,Y and Z Position in the edit tab to get the box to join as best as possible.

I then made a lobby where people will be teleported into the game after I put the top of the box on and you will no longer be able to fly inside.
I made a red box for the red paddle and a blue box for the blue paddle clicking on these will teleport you into the paddle for game play, I also added another box when you touch it it will give you basic instructions on how the game will be played. I had to put in a code to get the box to message you I had to add a script to it this is a very basic script the code I have written is not going to announce the message to the entire area this saves spam being played every time someone wants to check the rules.
