Am a new member and just curious. Everything about Sharendipity looks promising, yet there is not much community discussion, exchange of methods/ideas. There are a few dead links off the menus. Am I missing something, or did interest die in 2009-2010? Not sure what to think, but am a little disappointed so far.

Hey Ed,
Did you ever get an answer about your question? I just started today and the same thing is happening to me I see someone from Sharendipity answered you, but have the docs rolled over as of yet? Since this is still happening my guess would be no?

Hey, im making a game which requires me to have enemies that can lock on to the player.
Unfortunately, i cant seem to find the logic combination that allows me to set the enemy's orientation to the player's position...
A solution, i think, is to allow the bullets to move towards the location of the player, but i cant seem to work it out.
If it works, i can also use it to make moving platforms and such, so it'll be really useful if i could learn how to do that...
Anyone got a solution?

We need some specific voting and tracking features, similar to the way youtube works. We would like all users to be able see the average votes a file has received (on a five star scale,) as well as the # of plays a file has received and the # of votes a file has received. Does sharendipity support a way to have global values that all users can vote on via an accumulator, which is then displayed? The existing youtube 'skin' player tutorial looks like a great step in the right direction, but I wanted to know if sharendipity had the capability i was looking for before I started spending tons of time programming only to learn it isn't going to work (had this happen too many times.) :-)

The answer is yes, but it's worth explaining a bit more about the architecture for background. There are multiple layers at play here which can easily lead to some confusion about what's available and possible with the the Sharendipity apps.
Note that the Sharendipity application within Ning is simply a wrapper for the Sharendipity functionality you find at sharendipity.com. Network creators that add the app can configure it to display specific applications built inside of Sharendipity. For example, it can be configured to use a game kit or the YouTube templates or an educational template or... (fill in the blank).
If there is a specific application that you'd like to use on Ning but can't find it, you can always create it! In that case, you'd build the app using our tools at sharendipity.com and then configure your instance of the Ning app to access your new creation.
Specific to the YouTube applications... the apps that are currently available are using Google's web services to retrieve data from YouTube. Those web services provide access to every video detail you'd find on the video's page when you see it at youtube.com. So it's just a matter of displaying that data inside your Sharendipity application.
If you hover over the center area between the play/rewind controls on the existing YouTube apps (there's usually a question mark there), you'll see that a hover window pops up with video details. It includes the video's title, total number of views, and average rating.
It's easy to control how, when, and where any of this data is displayed. If you'd like to spec it out, I can help walk you through this process for creating the app in more detail.

Sharendipity looks to be a fantastic tool for building educational simulations, games, activities etc. But what *I* see on the screen does not match the tutorials at all. I see no characters, everything sems to be from menus at the top. Is this new, or is there something wrong with my browsers (IE & Firefox)? If this is a change, can someone who understands the change please update the wiki?

What you see is correct... the documentation has not caught up with the software changes.
We switched to a more traditional UI that is hopefully more intuitive as you explore the software. Until we get the docs rolled over, please don't hesitate to call on us with specific questions.

There has been some interest in accessing Google spreadsheet data via a web service... We just blogged about some of the basics related to the existing components used to do this.
Let us know if you need more.

I've been trying for a while to make anything happen "when <object1> contacts <object2>" - but even the simplest case just doesn't work. Is this a known bug?

Instance references are supposed to work in the collision filter. We've fixed that and should get the upgrade posted soon.
Regardless of the references you use in the filter, the most optimal way to access the object's properties is to use the "Event" reference in the behavior builder. You'll find it on the "other" tab inside the values view. This gives you direct access to the details of the actual collision that caused the behavior to fire including the objects involved in the collision.

We've started posting examples and documentation for some of the Facebook interfaces that have been created on our blog - http://blog.sharendipity.com. There are some fun example applications getting published that will help you get started: - Who Be Me? : A quiz game that tests your knowledge of your friends by asking you questions based on their profile data - http://apps.facebook.com/sharendipity/assets/2337/ - Facebook Photo Browser : An application that lets you view all of the photos of your Facebook friends in a single spot - http://apps.facebook.com/sharendipity/assets/2393/ - Facebook Photo Demo : A demo application that shows some simple examples for accessing your own Facebook photos - http://apps.facebook.com/sharendipity/assets/2918/ - Facebook Photo Scramble : A puzzle game that shuffles a photo from your friends and asks you to piece it back together - http://apps.facebook.com/sharendipity/assets/2458/ You can always reuse the components shared in the explorer today by searching for "facebook" in the types directory. If you'd like to build your own Facebook web services, check out the Web Services documention on this wiki - http://wiki.sharendipity.com/page/Web+ServicesLet us know how we can help!

"how do you get a invitation code?" You should be prompted to join the alpha when you first launch Sharendipity. Assuming you click the 'Join', it will notify us of your interest. We're in the process of granting a new batch of invites for the alpha so this timing is perfect. If you are not seeing the invite window when Sharendipity launches, please let us know at alpha@sharendipity.com Thanks!

"Is there anyway I can edit my Sharendipity profile (not the wiki)? I would like to add a picture. Or are pictures only for people who sign on using Facebook."
Not yet, but we're working on it. We'll provide a profile administration page so you can update your picture, email, or change your password (among other goodies).

Cool update, now people can post feedback which is a must for an application like Sharendipity. Is there anyway to see all of the games other than from the explorer? Because when you load a game from the explorer you can't see high scores and comments.
