Idea for a New Forum Front End Using Unity and SciFi Assets

Tonight I was looking into maybe creating a new front end using something like this (see video below) where the database stays the same but the user interaction happens in a virtual scifi world, such as 3D Scifi Base Vol 1 which is a 3D Models/Environments in Sci-Fi for Unity.




In this model, the database and all existing website (forum style) would stay basically the same for now (and could still be used); but we would build a virtual world where each scifi room is a "forum" and there would be some kind of user interaction; combining forum Q&A with a new type of virtual environ.

I think I can program this in Unity, since I have been programming in Unity for about a year now on another project; but it would be a lot of work.

Porting to another forum is really a "non starter" because we have way too many custom plugins that are not supported and would all have to be rewritten (by Scott and I).

If I am going to write code, I prefer to write in Unity 3D and build out a virtual world that accesses the database and permits users to interact, search and display in the virtual environment, similar to what we do in the forums now. Of course, we could leave the existing forums "as is" (maybe make the HTML more responsive for mobile); but the bulk of the new work would be in Unity.

That's one thought I had today.

QSqlError::QSqlError ( const QSqlError & other ) Creates a copy of other. QSqlError::~QSqlError () [virtual] Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources. QString QSqlError::databaseText () const Returns the text of the error as reported by the database. This may contain database-specific descriptions. QString QSqlError::driverText () const Returns the text of the error as reported by the driver. This may contain database-specific descriptions. int QSqlError::number () const Returns the database-specific error number, or -1 if it cannot be determined. QSqlError &; QSqlError::operator= ( const QSqlError & other ) Sets the error equal to other. void QSqlError::setDatabaseText ( const QString & databaseText ) [virtual] Sets the database error text to the value of databaseText. void QSqlError::setDriverText ( const QString & driverText ) [virtual] Sets the driver error text to the value of driverText. void QSqlError::setNumber ( int number ) [virtual] Sets the database-specific error number to the value of number. void QSqlError::setType ( int type ) [virtual] Sets the error type to the value of type. int QSqlError::type () const Returns the error type, or -1 if the type cannot be determined.
