Artboard

I have made "Artboard" for Meta Construct. It allows players to draw on the screen in-game. It was inspired by pxls.space and r/place. It resets both the image and the palette every 1st and 15th day of the month. You can view the current state of the board here: https://artboard.metastruct.net/.

The API was made with Node.JS and initially was in plain JavaScript. Then I rewrote it in TypeScript. Currently it is open-source and you can view the source code here: https://github.com/Metastruct/artboard-api/.

Metaluvit

Metaluvit was an application that utilized Discord's API and an IRC connection to relay chat communication from in-game and said platforms. It is open source and you can view the source code here: https://github.com/Metastruct/metaluvit/tree/master-preneutering.

Before I was given the developer rank, it did not have the core features, so I kickstarted it.

CrossChat

CrossChat is an addon that allows the servers to communicate, giving the players ability to see what the other players in the other servers are talking.

Although the support was dropped because we do not work on it anymore, I am sure that it still can work (with or without modifications). That is because, instead of handling the communication ourselves through our own server(s), like some of the other addons with the same idea, we decided that it would be the best to use the luasocket library and implement both the server protocol and the clients for it. This way it is:

  • more private;
  • less hassle for customers, who are going to use this addon even if the support for CrossChat was dropped;
  • less hassle for us, since in case of server migration we would not have to set something up for CrossChat and update it to make it work again.

Re-Dream

Re-Dream was an alternative to Meta Construct. I was involved in its development since 2017. It is mostly open source: https://github.com/Re-Dream/.
