Connecting an MMO to Facebook via dimeRocker
Fri, 09/04/2010 - 8:02pm
I've recently been recruited to a team creating a virtual-world learning environment (initially marketing as an ACT/SAT prep program) in Unity... I've been using Unity and been in the dimeRocker community for a while now, and we're wondering if we could use dimeRocker to connect the world and it's characters to Facebook to increase appeal for the target audience (kids).
Essentially: The mmo aspect needs to be kept as its own separate entity. It'll have it's own server and the educational game world itself will be self contained. Is it possible to carry information and stats from the kids' profiles in that game to a dimeRocker build?
The aim would be to let players use the same profile/character/avatar in both the learning world and the casual social world on Facebook.

I love this idea of connecting its world and characters to Facebook. Did you ever figure out a way to get their MMO information through WWW calls? I am curious to know how your facebook app development turns out. Keep us posted!

First of all i would like to thank you for the great and informative entry. I have to admit that I have never heard about this information I have noticed many new facts for me. Thanks a lot for sharing this useful and attractive information and I will be waiting for other interesting posts from you in the nearest future. Keep it up.
Yes, this is completely possible. Your dimeRocker build would just make some WWW calls to your own game to load/save information and you'd use dimeRocker's API for social publishing and engagement.
Essentially: You'd just need some way of getting their MMO information through WWW calls. Since the dimeRocker API is open source, you could take a look on how to do that in Unity.
