Sandbox Blox

Kudos to Jesse Barnett (SL name) for creating this fun variant on my Stackable Graph Cubes. You can download the scripts for Sandbox Blox from Jesse’s wiki page, and checkout the forum discussion on Scripting Tips.
The idea is that you start with a basic rezzer block, and click it to begin. It will rez a white block for you, which you can move off wherever you want it. Another white block will appear over the rezzer — click it, and then click any face of the other cube, and it will jump straight to it. When you use a cube, another appears for you. You can use it to build up shapes by joining cubes together in various arrangements. I was never much of an artist, but I reckon I can do immersive cubism with this! 
There’s lots of potential variations on the idea. I would probably choose to make it work by ‘growing’ your cubic construction from the root prim — you click a side, and it rezzes the next cube in the appropriate location. That’s less flexible though, since it’s more difficult to move existing cubes then.
