How to Integrate the Steem API with Unity 3d

For a client I had to display geo tagged content from steam in a XR browser made in Unity. When I first tried this I came across some helpful info, but thought I would put the steps down here that I had to complete to achieve this.

So here is what you have to do if you want to use the Steem api in a Unity or for that matter a .net project. Are you buckled in and ready for your flight :) ?

These instruction assume you already have a project setup, I'll not bore you with how to do that.

1. Go to github and download the Steem .net API https://github.com/VIM-Arcange/Steem.NET
2. Extract the cjson.cs, csteemAPI.cs,csteemd.cs,csteemwallet.cs and cwebsockets.cs files into your assets/scripts project folder
3. From the Unity asset store import the JSON.net for unity https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/input-management/json-net-for-unity-11347
4. Now in Project->BuildSettings->Player Settings change the scripting runtime version level of your project from 3.5 to 4.x, this requires a restart.
5. Once Unity has restarted you will get the error - CSteemWallet.cs(555,3): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `arrParams'. It's missing a semi-colon, so open it in your code editor and add the ';' after arrParams. Save and the error should be gone
6. Open CSteemWallet.cs, and double click CONSTRUCTORS, then change "127.0.0.1" to "https://api.steemit.com" and "nPort = 8091" to "nPort = 443". Do the same in CSteemd.cs.
   7.Open CWebsockets.cs, and double click CONSTRUCTORS, then change "ws://node.steem.ws" to "https://api.steemit.com"

Your now done, and can interact with the steem blockchain.

In the next post I'll write classes to help you interact with the blockchain. Hope this helps

All the best
