Hey!

So I was thinking about a way to speed my development time, and identify what are the bottle necks are. Basically I’ve found the majority of the development time goes in mixing files and projects to make them work.

So I was thinking it would be really cool to have a tool that merges files and knows what version of AR library to use between one that has old features and one that has new features.

I was thinking that instead of me manually having to add the file and code, the tool could allow me to mix 1 or more projects by just selecting the projects, and then click on merge.

A merge tool should have in consideration the compatibility between AR. Like an if that if Hand tracking and world tracking is enabled, it prompts an user that says, incompatible features.

I know this might be asking too much but think about the posibility of having a tool that shrinks the development time from weeks to seconds. So then I can focus on what really matters, coding new features, or modiying the templates.

this tools would help make a reality, the first idea I posted about having a menu of ar features you can toogle. This way this code will do the magic behind the idea.

if there was a merge tool, by togling on the metaversal featuree, it would merge and modify the existing file with the line of code that converts the experience truly metaversal.

I think that by making features / tools like this it would help me and others test and modify or even create combinations of templates and since there are many many templates. combining 10 templates wouldnt be a titan task, rather a simple task of a few clicks.

What yall think? does this make sense?

Thanks for listening my crazy ideas,

keep it up with the great work! :smiley:

I will move forward with this in the next months. I will create a js code to merge strings into files and do functions to move on computer desktop the files so can be uploaded and use the merged codes to iterate faster.

When thinking about next AR, I feel it would be cool to shrink time spent, on combining files multiple projects so I ca man focus on what is worth, creating the AR and interactions.

This I think have an impact on my development with 8thwall.

Picturing combining and merging with AI or not. Projects that dependency don’t break, that aframe version of three js work because matches the right version for the Feature.

At the end, what is code if not instructions for machine, and in this paradigm text are just array of characters / strings that can be concatenated.

So, when learning more about game development and comming to use 8thwall tools it feel is missing features in cloud editor like merging code tool in Perforce (p4).

Gonna probably invest some spare time on this. Would anyone be interested in a code to do this?

Open for the community discussion or anyone to give his POV.

Thank yall have a great day
