Super excited to see Cursor Camp go live today! This was such a fun one to work on, I created all the animations in @rive_app Go explore the camp and hang out with fellow humans from around the world

The deadline for the Impossible UI with @rive_app challenge has been extended until May 8! Build a UI that simply should not exist. Like @nealagarwal and @AshleyBest's Cursor Camp: A live multiplayer playground for 1,000 real cursors to hang out in real time. Seriously, how is this even possible? Rive is wild!

@dvassallo Congrats on this epic game Daniel! I just had a go. I started building a similar top down racing game earlier this year too, still got a way to go though! x.com/AshleyBest/sta…

Incredible tire marks from someone on the fullsend.game discord 🤯

Yes I built the piano so that each note has its own ‘down’ Boolean, which allows each note to be controlled independently and simultaneously! Also means you can script little songs for it to play! See here: ab-neal-fun.netlify.app/hall-cafe/pian… And yes, thats definitely a nod to club penguin! 🙂

@AshleyBest @nealagarwal @igarakii i don't know if you did the piano, but that one was so cool. and the soccer ball. interactive elements are great. the waterfall is super impressive, too. i also love this one. makes me think of the puffle from club penguin x.com/sriramkiron/st…

One of my favourite animations I created for @nealagarwal's Cursor Camp game!

@sriramkiron @nealagarwal @igarakii Nice one, good on you for starting your Rive journey! Which animation are you most interested in, perhaps I could do a little breakdown?

@AshleyBest @nealagarwal i'd love to see how you used rive to create some of the animations. just attended a rive workshop yesterday that was hosted by @igarakii and learned some of the basics x.com/sriramkiron/st…

@DanielisLucky @nealagarwal That's definitely the vibe that we were going for! 🫡

@AshleyBest @nealagarwal This gave me club penguin nostalgia vibes. Great work!

@contra @nealagarwal @rive_app Consider it done! 🙂 on.contra.com/zJDccL

@AshleyBest @nealagarwal Y'all should definitely submit this in the Impossible UI Challenge we're running with @rive_app right now 👀

Introducing Cursor Camp, a website to hang out with other cursors. Out now, enjoy :)

@contra @nealagarwal OMG yes. And maybe snowball fights in the winter time. I'll put in a word with the boss! 😉

@nealagarwal This is the best thing ever. Now we just need to be able to throw pinecones at other cursors 😂

@marinwaves @nealagarwal Thanks Marin! Yeah there's definitely some technical wizardry involved from Neal to get them all working together on the canvas and have them broadcast to multiple users in realtime. Super fun project!

@AshleyBest @nealagarwal Outstanding work! And I love Rive, I was surprised to see you used it for ALL animations? Wow! How did you guys fit all of those assets into one Canvas on the site?

@craigsdennis @rive_app Thanks Craig! 🙏🏻

@AshleyBest @rive_app Gorgeous work!

I'm guessing you're talking about the scripting agent? Whilst you can use the agent to generate some visuals, it's more for setting up logic, view models, layouts and interactions. For example I used scripting on the playground roundabout to manage the physics simulation of the motion. Dragging it at different speeds gives it different amounts of inertia. And yes, Rive does have a runtime for Unreal Engine!

@AshleyBest @rive_app Hey how exactly does rive work? Do they connect to like codex and I can say what I want the final result to look like and then it gets there? And is this exportable to unreal?

@wesbos I actually received the illustrations from @nealagarwal as SVG files. You can just drag and drop them into Rive and start animating right away! I used data binding for the interactive logic, and also used Rive's Luau scripting in a few places for more complex interactions.

@AshleyBest So good! Nice work - what is your process for doing the designs and then getting them into rive?

🤣 this is the best thing I've seen all week. A camp for your cursors. I just went over the waterfall and now I'm watching a movie

@rive_app 👉🏻 neal.fun/cursor-camp/

the amazing animations are by @AshleyBest!

@nealagarwal This is the kind of click-bait I'm here for! 🥳

@type01_ @synthymental Similar vibes! x.com/AshleyBest/sta…

We love to see @synthymental's experiments 🔥⁠ ⁠ #type01 #cavalryapp #kinetictypography #rallycar⁠
