Building in Cybalounge 4: HTML page prim:

  • Cybalounge is a developing environment for building web-worlds.
  • A web-world is a three dimensional virtual world you visit on your browser.
  • Cybalounge provides tools for equipping a web-world with customized content.
  • With these tools, you can build without learning Javascript, HTML5, and WebGL.
  • Visit a web-world: Cybalounge  Enter as guest, no registration, no password.
  • I will probably be there any weekday at 10-10:30 am California time.
  • My workshop: click push-pin (bottom), scroll for Selby's test world, click enter.
  • If I am not in the entry world, check my workshop.

    ****************************
    • The HTML Page Prim is a 2D plane with an HTML page as  content.
    • You can put almost any web page on it, including Google Docs and YouTube videos.

    Prep: enter building mode

    • Enter building mode: Click the crossed tools (bottom line), then click the ground.
    • Leave building mode: Click the crossed tools again.  
    • Note that in building mode, the crossed tool button in highlighted.

    Add HTML Page

    • Stand about where you want to put the HTML page.
    • Click the ground (to be sure that the HTML page is a child of the root object.)
    • Pix of this panel
    • Click Special,  Click Add HTML Page.
    • Click dimensions and enter the url of the page you want to display  
    • (Yes, dimensions is confusing for url entry; it will probably be changed.)
    • Page width (in pixels):  960 seems to be the common practice.
    • That was the right size for this blog.
    • The dimensions and other attributes are handled as with the cube.
    • Note that the page gets diminished contrast when its prim is selected.  
    • Click on the ground to deselect it (selecting the root cube).
    • Click crossed tools to stop editing and use objects normally
    • Note: crossed tools are highlighted when editing, not in normal use.

    Set event: click gets scrollable/editable page

    • Click the HTML page, click attributes, click event
    • In EventType change NONE to CLICK
    Settings for web page open
    Click image to enlarge
    • For the HTML object, this event opens the page in editable form.
    • If EventPopup is checked, the page opens inworld in a tablet.  
    • If EventPopup is not checked, the page opens in a separate browser tab.  
    • Either display allows scrolling.  
    • If the browser page allows editing, anyone can edit the tablet.
    • Most web pages do not allow editing
    • You might want to allow editing of a Google Docs page.
    • If a primitive has an event, the cursor becomes a hand when above that primitive.

    Notes

    • Yes, the back side of the HTML object is in reverse.   Maybe it should not show.
    • There may be problems on HD displays.  
    • Some software is not fully compatible with HD pixel counts.
    • I have found enough problems in editing on my HD laptop that I do not edit with it.
    • (I have found other software having problems with my HD laptop.)
    • It seems that after I add a few objects, things don't work as expected.
    • If I note that things are not working as expected, I go to another local world.
    • (Remember the pushpin.) Then I come back.  
    • Maybe I could just exit the build mode.
