Ill definitely search around and see if I can find out more information about it, thanks for the lead on that.  It's such a perfect game for adaption to that platform that Im surprised it hasnt been done already.  They've got some excellent virtual chessboards there, and even a Monopoly game (called "SLopoly") that is brilliantly designed, a table with the board, dice that roll, tokens moving around on it, even the property cards that show up in front of where your avatar is sitting when you buy the lands (I bought a set for my virtual place).  So if something that complex can be done, then Icehouse should be a piece of cake to adapt.
 
The pyramids would be very easy to build, in fact you can create one to whatever size you want with a single click of the mouse.  I have a virtual Tarot shoppe there, and one designer has created a great deck that can be modified, and they would be perfect for a virtual Icehouse game.  So the creation of the game pieces would be simple, getting together the program (or "script") that would turn the pieces correctly and the rest of it, that would be the real chore.  But Im sure there are scripters there who could create it.  After Ive learned the games, Id definitely like to experiment with the virtual concept and see where it goes.  Ill keep the list here updated on the progress.  :)
 
I dont remember if I posted this before, but I have a page on my site which shows my various avatars and lands, check it out for more information:
 
 
 
There is, I am told, a Zendo set in SecondLife somewhere.  But I have
no idea where, and I can never seem to navigate SL very easily to
find things, myself.  It seems like the basic pyramid design, once
built, would be easily reusable in many other games (Just like in the
real world, really).
