Wired Variables – now in the Shop!

Hey all!

I’m very excited to announce the next big thing for the Wired project: Wired Variables! Over the next few weeks we’ll be releasing Wired Variables in stages. These are items with pretty complex functionality, so I want to give Wired creators the space and time to learn how to use them. I’ll be explaining how to use them in more detail in the Wired Faculty Discord, if you’re interested make sure to join!

You might wonder, what are Wired Variables, why are they a big thing, and how do they help the game? There is no short or easy answer to that question, as this update tackles many shortcomings at once!

I’ll try to summarize it in 4 parts:

Storage of values and game progression. We want to make Wired games where the system still recognises the progression of a player after they have left the room. This will make checkpoints easy, it will allow agencies to store the ranks of their employees, etc. Additionally, it brings Wired one step closer to a fully-fledged programming language. Being able to “store values” is essential to making a wide range of new games possible. Just like in the real world, games need to keep track of players’ scores, health points, and so on, otherwise the games just don’t work 🤯

Room communication. These so-called “Wired Variables” can be shared between different rooms, which in turn allows for some amazing new things like multi-room RPG games. As a Wired creator, you can even share variables with your friends! 🗺️

Mathematics. What is a programming language without mathematics? Worry no more, it’s here now!

The integration of everything. Variables are all about numbers, but there’s more things in Habbo that are numbers as well, like player levels and achievement scores. That, and a lot of other things, become seamlessly available for a Wired creator to use through Wired Variables.

Since this is such a large update, I’ve dedicated the time to write posts on everything Wired creators possibly need to know about Wired Variables in the The Wired Faculty Discord server. Myself, the Wired Team, and other passionate Wired creators will be ready to help you out if you have any questions too, so make sure to join!

Also keep in mind that this update provides the base of an entirely new principle in Wired. This is something we will build on further in future Wired updates. This is just the start 🚀

I’m hoping you are all as excited as I am about the exciting games Habbos will make after this update 🙂
