Vircadia Community Applications Repository

This repository stores optional tablet applications and functionalities provided by the contributions of the community members. If you have created an Application or functionality script and want to offer it to the community, this is where you can do it.

Before going further:

  1. If your application/functionality is a core feature that you think should be delivered out-of-the-box with Vircadia, you must instead consider making your contribution directly in the Vircadia code repository. See instead the Vircadia repository and contact the core team.

  2. If your application/functionality has a dependency with on an external server or services (if it has to deal in any ways with other servers than a Vircadia Domain or Metaverse API), then this repository is not where you should publish your application. It will have to be published to a different source like the Marketplace (when it is created) or another web site.

Conditions for acceptance:

  1. You must include a license reference in your files to make your script fully open source:
    // Distributed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
    // See the accompanying file LICENSE or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html

  2. Avoid spaces and special characters in your folders and file names.
    (Stay with: "a-z", "A-Z", "0-9", "-", "_", ".")

  3. Add your application/functionality in a folder under the "applications" directory.
    (Your main js file and your icon must be directly in that folder)

  4. You must add your application/functionality to the "metadata.js" file (in the "applications" directory) by generating a new one using this tool: Metadata Generator

Submit a "Pull Request" to add your "application folder" and the new "metadata.js" file.
(If you are not comfortable with these procedures, contact Keb Helion on Vircadia Discord.)


Guidelines for the code reviewer:

  1. Test the applications in Vircadia.

  2. Make sure that the JSON and Javascript contained in "metadata.js" are valid before accepting the pull request! This will affect the production "More" application immediately for all users.

  3. Test the "More..." application in Vircadia.
