GitHub Like Emoji #6

Closed hasanbayatme closed 6 years ago

hasanbayatme commented 6 years ago

Using GitHub like emoji codes for instantiating EmojiTexture class, for example instead of doing:

material.mainTexture = new EmojiTexture("❤");

We can do this:

material.mainTexture = new EmojiTexture(":heart:");

Thanks.

Hi @EmpireWorld Thank you for the suggestion! Markdown emojis are probably useful, could be a simple helper class that maps :heart: to ❤. Currently working on TextMesh Pro support, and this will be planned right after.

I might end up using the github emoji API as a map. https://api.github.com/emojis The file names indicate the unicode value. Could also work as a fallback on other platforms

Update on this: This is a WIP, kinda working, but I'm making some changes and that's including:

Mapping emoji names to unicode
Support for other platforms: download images when they are not natively supported (e.g. the editor)
Have an callback event for when the emoji image is downloaded (or if it fails, if no internet etc)

Fixed by last commit.
