FLOSS contribution: Gather Town Bulk Changes Application

Project Overview

I was commissioned to help out with mass asset uploading for an online festival called Festival Theater der Welt: Our house is on fire!. There were about 30 maps that needed digital assets to be uploaded and placed. Doing this manually was tedious, so instead I wrote scripts that used the Gather http API to automate the process. I then decided to build a user-interface so that if others were in the same position, they could easily update map data in bulk without writing any scripts.

Features

• Edit map data using a form and update as you go.
• Backup map data from Gather.Town servers to a JSON file.
• Add your API key and multiple Space ID/Map ID configurations to the application (these are stored in your browser using the localStorage Web API).
• Ability to upload data to the form from a backed up JSON file.
• Upload local images to the gather town server and recieve image URLs to be used in form data.
