My company announced #MicroverseBuilder today.
Each microverse is "just" a static web page that you can deploy anywhere, but it is fully 3D multiplayer, and can be live-coded. Portals show and link to other developer's worlds.

Our intern Yasha started to build it just a few days ago, and she made it work right in time.
Happy Holidays Everyone!

🎃 Having Halloween in the #Metaverse on #Microverse live-coding. This experiment takes the magic crystal ball we made at CodeLab Club earlier into the metaverse.
Really cool!

This was the first time we publicly used Croquet’s “broadcast mode” in which only some privileged peers are interacting with the shared world, while the rest joined as spectators who can move but not interfere. This allows us to safely scale to larger audiences.

This talk by our is the most in-depth exploration of what we built at yet. It does trace Croquet from its Smalltalk roots to the web and JavaScript, from our 2D web apps all the way to #Microverse live-coding:

This is really amazing - up to 5000 replicated NPCs in a single world - all interacting with the user and other objects - and perfectly synchronized!
I was also able to figure out how you could handle that many avatars in a scene.

The “Making Smalltalk” 50 year reunion at the Museum was amazing.
Also proud that both Adele Goldberg and Dan Ingalls showed their demos using my virtual machines (SimKit on Smalltalk-78 and Etoys on SqueakJS, respectively) 🥰

Added a bloom filter behavior to #Microverse. #LiveCoding comes in handy for tweaking parameters. And because it's running on #CroquetOS, the behavior is immediately updated on all devices at the same time, e.g. my phone.

The code is here: github.com/croquet/microv

LOL 😅
I have a few 180 degrees rotations in my portal code and am still not sure how to get rid of them. I suspect all our objects face the wrong way and we just always rotate them on import. 🤷🏻♀️

the best part about working with 3d is getting the end result on the screen right and then working backwards flipping signs until your code is clean of sign flips

Your questions are great! This wasn't easy to figure out - it was like factoring a really complex equation. We did the original in Smalltalk which really helped. This version of the Croquet kernel was done by , who really knocked it out of the park. It is beautiful.

Excellent 15 min demo of #Microverse by our founder and CTO David Smith.
If you want to build rich interactive multiplayer web worlds you should give this system a try.
(If you don’t care about Metaverse stuff,
look at it as demo of our multiplayer Croquet OS)
