The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Idea for a New Forum Front End Using Unity and SciFi Assets Post 303004828 by Neo on Tuesday 10th of October 2017 01:24:29 AM
Old 10-10-2017
So, have been thinking about this more and how to make this idea feasible (easy to begin, scaleable)... current thought:

(1) Create a nice SciFi Environment like one in the example Unity assets.

(2) Interface the forum database to pull the avatars for each active user into the environment and have those avatars "hanging out" near a common object in the scene that represents the location of their last activity.

(3) Interface the forum database to pull the avatars for each active guest user that might be a bot into the environment and have those avatars "hanging out" in a room where we can easily see the amount of "hits" (activity).

(4) Added an embedded web browser object into the scene where users could browser the forums using the browser, or even simulate what others are browsing (posts, threads) using an embedded browser in the SciFi environment.

(5) Add a mod room that shows basic stats on newly registered users with a spam risk score and the ability to shoot them with some cool space cannon that automatically updated the backend db and bands these users.


Any more ideas?


If not, this might be the initial base line for a future front end app for the forums.

Note: I think I may move this thread out of the UG so we can get input from more members or members who are more interested in virtual worlds, etc.

Libravatar::URL(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Libravatar::URL(3pm)

NAME
Libravatar::URL - Make URLs for Libravatars from an email address SYNOPSIS
use Libravatar::URL; my $url = libravatar_url( email => 'larry@example.org' ); DESCRIPTION
See <http://www.libravatar.org> for more information. Functions libravatar_url # By email my $url = libravatar_url( email => $email, %options ); # By OpenID my $url = libravatar_url( openid => $openid, %options ); Constructs a URL to fetch the Libravatar for the given $email address or $openid URL. %options are optional. "libravatar_url" will accept all the options of "gravatar_url" in Gravatar::URL except for "rating" and "border". The available options are... size Specifies the desired width and height of the avatar (they are square). Valid values are from 1 to 512 inclusive. Any size other than 80 may cause the original image to be downsampled using bicubic resampling before output. size => 40, # 40 x 40 image default The url to use if the user has no avatar. default => "http://www.example.org/nobody.jpg" Relative URLs will be relative to the base (ie. libravatar.org), not your web site. Libravatar defines special values that you may use as a default to produce dynamic default images. These are "identicon", "monsterid", "wavatar" and "retro". "404" will cause the URL to return an HTTP 404 "Not Found" error instead and "mm" will display the same "mystery man" image for everybody. See <http://www.libravatar.org/api> for more info. If omitted, Libravatar will serve up their default image, the orange butterfly. base This is the URL of the location of the Libravatar server you wish to grab avatars from. Defaults to <http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/> for HTTP and <https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/> for HTTPS. short_keys If true, use short key names when constructing the URL. "s" instead of "size", "d" instead of "default" and so on. short_keys defaults to true. https If true, serve avatars over HTTPS instead of HTTP. You should select this option if your site is served over HTTPS to avoid browser warnings about the presence of insecure content. https defaults to false. LICENSE
