Ever since 2020, Events are going online! This calls for a revamp of our event infrastructure as more and more events are held online or hybrid.

Discord servers are not a good interface for hosting events, they can get overwhelming, un-navigable boring as the size of the event grows.

• What we're trying to do is we're making a virtual, but extremely visual representation of an event, A virtual Space for events
• You can visualize and "live" the event just like offline events.
• We created a 2D map which mocks the real environment of an event.
• Some of the key features include:-
  • VIRTUAL ROOMS
    • Rooms for All Webinars
    • Rooms for Minor Events
    • Rooms for Sponsors
    • Rooms for Networking
  • THEMED MAPS
    • All events are different, which calls for the need to be able to build UIs that cater to the events needs
    • You can make your own map for your events
  • INTERACTIVE OBJECTS
    • These virtual spaces can have interactive objects, when a user visits these objects they respond with premade templates.
    • Examples:
      • Zoom Bots - create zoom meeting links, instantaneously
      • FAQ Bots - Ask anything about the event!
      • Advertisment Bots
  • EVENT LEVELS
    • Phases of the events can be categorised as game levels
    • Ex: Level 2 == Hacking phase
    • This gives a direct visula cue of whats going on in the event!

• Under the hood this a 2D Realtime Multiplayer RPG Game!
• We faced a lot of challenges while selecting the right Game engine to get the work done.
• Lots reading documentation was done.

• We had to learn about WebSockets and implement complex server side logic using the same.
