I’ve been on a bit of a break from my main project, 7-bit Pirates. Just taking a bit of distance to it and avoiding nervous breakdown.

Here is something little I’ve been working on mostly on weekends. I mainly just wanted to test the new features of Untiy 3 so I made the hangar in about 2 weekends. I made the ship building script today and it took about 6 hours to get it right.

Here is a (bit outdated) video of the game:

Here is some pictures from the latest build:

Well, sort of a “pay what you want”. Since I AppStore doesn’t have a such feature, I needed to fiddle around with the prices a bit.

For June 2010, the price of Forklift Hazard at Apple’s AppStore will change daily:

After that, the price drops back to free and the whole thing starts again.

If you want to get the game for free, get it on a Monday. If you want to support the maker of the game, buy it on a later weekday.

Here’s the link to Appstore:

Thanks in advance!

PS. If the price on the app store is not what’s listed in the table above, just wait a bit. Sometimes the AppStore doesn’t know the day has changed yet or it just hasn’t had time to update.

PSS. Feel feel to post this to your twitter, facebook or otherwise share it with your friends and family

• New and improved forklift!
• Awesome tilt controls for the camera
• Remade scores system (instead of competing against each other with milliseconds, you know how well you compare against other players world wide).
• New levels

And of course all the goodies of the earlier version (realtime physics, great gameplay and the Mole). Here is some pictures of the new version:

But enough of that rambling. Here is how I managed to fetch wordpress user profiles into unity.

Unity JS

function Awake() {
	GetCookie (display_name);
	//This is what you are fetching.
	//See http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_users
}

function GetCookie (query:String){
	//Path to your PHP file
	var url = "http://domain.com/cookiecheck.php?q=";
	var getCookie = WWW(url+query);
		yield getCookie; // Wait until the download is done

    if(getCookie.error) {
        Debug.Log("There was an error getting cookies: "
				+ getCookie.error);
    } else {
		result = getCookie.data;
    }
}

function OnGui () {
	if (result != null) {
		GUI.Label (Rect (10,50,280,20), result);
	}
	else
		GUI.Label (Rect (10,50,280,20), "Waiting for yummy cookies!");
}

Server side PHP cookiecheck.php

$query=$_GET["q"];

require_once('/path/to/your/wp-config.php');

global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

if ('' == $user_ID) {
        print("invalid User");
      }
else {
	print($current_user->$query);
}

It is nothing major, but I spent a good amount of trial and error to get it right. Hopefully this article will save someone else from that trouble. Oh, and big thanks once again to the guys (and gals) at #unity3d@irc.freenode.irc.freenode.net

Here is some screenshots:

You can play it at Wooglie!

Oh and rate it there as well! Grrr…
