HyperGodot

A Godot plugin and example project for loading assets from the hypercore-protocol.

WIP: This is a work an progress and may have breaking changes. Feel free to follow for progress, though.

How It Works:

• Puts all the hypercore-protocol handling into an HTTP gateway
• Bundles platform-specific binaries for the gateway
• Subclasses HTTPRequest to auto-spawn gateway and translate hyper:// requests to http://127.0.0.1:4973/hyper/
• Call request() as you normally would, but with hyper:// URLs

TODOs:

• [x] Reuse HyperGateway instance between HyperRequest objects
• [x] Example for saving data to hyper
• [x] Make FTP server that can be mounted as a network drive
• [x] Listen for changes (EventSource)
• [x] Listen for download progress (EventSource)
• [x] Listen for / Publish extension messages (EventSource)
• [ ] Examples for all the methods exposed by the gateway.
  • [x] GET/PUT text files
  • [x] Watch for changes
  • [x] Basic chat app
• [x] Load latest hyper-gateway dynamically on boot
• [ ] Basic Multiplayer demo using extension messages
  • [x] Refactor chat system to be more general purpose (not just texts)
  • [x] Basic demo moving blobs around on a map
  • [x] Place usernames in a hyperdrive's json file along with an image for your blob
  • [x] Create custom maps from an image and a JSON file
  • [ ] Auto-discover which maps are active
• [ ] Enable code to work in Godot Web in Agregore
  • [ ] Use new JavaScriptObject API from Godot 4
• [ ] Enable code to work in Godot Web in regular browsers
• [ ] Update to latest hypercore protocol stuff
• [ ] Add multi-writer for hyperdrives
• [ ] Load gltf scene from hyper
• [ ] Load VRM avatar from hyper (social multiplayer) VRM stuff
