SD Times Open-Source Project of the Week: Workadventure

At a time when organizations such as Microsoft with their Teams feature are creating innovative ways to recreate workspaces, the developers behind the open-source project Work Adventure found a different approach: What if you could recreate a workspace within a 16-bit RPG video game that looks similar to Pokemon games?

In this innovative office workspace style, users can move around a virtual universe and talk to colleagues and a video-chat feature that is triggered when moving next to a colleague. 

“Pick a map that suits your mood! If you don’t find what you need, you can always create your own map,” the developers of Workadventure wrote on the project’s website that contains additional details. 

In addition to spaces that recreate the office look (in 16-bit that is), users can chat in the luscious outdoors or any other designed environment. 

Users just need a mic and camera to walk up to a colleague in the game at which point a video feed of them pops up in the top right corner. Users can also create a private room with their friends or their team. 

“Workadventure is an intuitive and fun solution to professional issues: working in a remote way within a team, creating an event (even a big one), and staying connected and increasing social interactions,” the developers added.

Currently, Workadventure supports instant interactions with up to four people, the ability to share your screen with others, and the ability to organize a workshop and meeting with up to 60 people. It is primarily written in TypeScript.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?...
