   Good

   This is such a wonderful abd helpful game-making platform,even for the beginners. And i know and I've played in the several games ,for example,which were made so thoroughly and carefully and also simply by using “UNITY” . So the game quality is just a matter of the programmer's skill,i think.

   Most flexible Metaverse out there...

   Most of the 3D world experiences limit what a user can build and do. This is not so with Vircadia. The Apache license makes this 3D application the most flexible tool for building custom and interactive worlds. Vircadia is truly free, open and relatively easy to use. There are several developers who are working and improving this platform daily! Free content ensures that new users have access to materials for building their world without having to worry about learning difficult 3D applications. I highly recommend Vircadia and believe this will be the next big server technology on the world wide web.

   🏁 Competitors: VRChat, Facebook Spaces, Facebook Horizon, Second Life, vTime XR, Metaverse, Sansar, OpenSimSim

   👍 Pros:    Spacial audio|Apache license|Inworld creation tools|Multiple platforms|Vr ready|Free content

   👎 Cons:    In development

• OOP for Unity Beginners: Build Better Games from the Start

  In this beginner-friendly guide, we’ll break down OOP in Unity in a way that’s simple, practical, and directly tied to game development. You’ll learn how to structure your code with classes, inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism—without getting overwhelmed by jargon. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Why Does Everyone Forget Java and C# for Backend Development? Why Don’t Full-Stack Developers Learn Java and C#?

  C# was developed by Microsoft in the early 2000s as part of its .NET initiative, led by Anders Hejlsberg. Originally designed as an alternative to Java, C# evolved into a powerful language for Windows applications, backend services, game development (via Unity), and cloud computing. The introduction of .NET Core made C# fully cross-platform, allowing it to run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• One must imagine Sisyphus writing a new JS framework

  The same happened with video games thanks to projects like Unity or Blender. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• How to use an auto-tiling technique in your next game project

  One can get exposed to auto-tiling in different implementations. If you're using a game engine like Unity or Godot, there are features automatically built into those packages to enabling auto-tiling as you draw and create your levels. Also, there are software tools like Tiled, LDTK, and Sprite Fusion, that are a little more tilemap specific and give you native tools for auto-tiling. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Vircadia: 2023.2.X “Selene” Release

  Vircadia is an open source (Apache 2.0) metaverse ecosystem consisting of a high performance real-time server architecture (C++), web SDK (TS), and web client (TS). Source: over 1 year ago

• FLAC 1.3.4

  Not pre-baked. I work on https://vircadia.com/ -- it has to give every user their own audio mix to account for their 3D position. This means codec costs add up fast. You can't just encode once and stream the same thing to a dozen people. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• FLAC 1.3.4

  Both, primarily the first. Low latency is definitely a requirement, but no issues with Opus on that account. > I haven't looked into how expensive it is to encode in terms of CPU time, so I assume maybe you're taking about a bottleneck in terms of the number of simultaneous streams you can support on a single CPU? Yup! I work on https://vircadia.com/ -- we have to compress audio in real time and every user gets... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• When the Stagnation Goes Virtual

  Second Life improved avatars by quite a lot in fairly recent times. There's also alternatives to it, eg, check out the project I work on: https://vircadia.com/ It's a sort of spiritual successor to Second Life, since it was started by the same guy -- Philip Rosedale -- after he left SL. It didn't quite work, so the commercial project died and got picked up by open source forks, which is what I work on. It's less... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• When the Stagnation Goes Virtual

  To me it's useful/entertaining in the ways forums and chats are, plus some additional features on top of that. Eg, you can talk to people, but in addition to that you have a collaborative 3D environment with positional audio where you can script, make games or do other stuff. Recently a group using our project put up a Christmas Carol VR play, and the results were most impressive. https://vircadia.com/ -- it's an... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
