VirtualWorlds - DysLabs - 03-19-2013
Hello there. I'm working on an improved version of 2DWorlds named "VirtualWorlds." Currently, I'm working with source code from Buildism outdated from May 2012. I can't guarantee it to be compatible with existing games though.
New Features
- Script objects will be removed. To script, you will need to open the event and add your code it it.
- Web API
- Increased multiplayer support that I will try to keep on a lot more often.
- 2.5D (if possible) (suggested by Walrus)Impossible
Features I've Implemented
- The Web API. It's not complete, but you can get the response of a HTTP request.
[lua]
game:getService("Web"):httpGet("http://buildism.net")
[/lua]
The API should auto-check the URL and add 'http://' before it if it isn't already there, but it is good practice to put it there.
You can also act as a TCP client.
[lua]
create("TCP").Parent=game.World
game.World.TCP:connect("google.com",80)
game.World.TCP
end("hola")
[/lua]
Any other ideas?

:O, wait are you starting from scratch or using 2dworlds files?
RE: I'm creating my own version of 2DWorlds - DysLabs - 03-19-2013
I'm basing it on the existing source.
I've decided its going to be called 'VirtualWorlds.'

I hope it can be 2.5D.
Also if you are going to be the owner of the site, please act professional.

If he does end up making a website for "VirtualWorlds" He could do whatever he wants. he can tell everyone to Fuck off and ban them all if he wanted.
Jacob_ could do the same if he wanted to.

It's a wonder he hasn't already.
Wait, what is 2.5D?
Isn't it like 3D graphics but its actually 2D.
So it shows depth?
RE: VirtualWorlds - Oak - 03-21-2013
2.5D is a mix between 3D and 2D with higher quality graphics and a different camera angle. It's 2D and 3D but in the middle of both. Littlebigplanet has 2.5D graphics. Also give credit to me for the 2.5D idea, please.
RE: VirtualWorlds - DysLabs - 03-21-2013
I'm not sure exactly what that would look like. I'm imagining 3D graphics, but you can't "explore" the depth.
RE: VirtualWorlds - Oak - 03-21-2013
Look up Littlebigplanet on YouTube and you'll get an idea of what it is like. Or even Paper Mario.

2.5D is 3D but with a forced sidescrolling perspective.
