Chumbyland

Travel the Chumbysphere! Choose a "pixel" Chum and send them off to visit other Chumbyland locations and watch other Chumbyland citizens come by and hang out on your Chumby for awhile. They might even engage in some Chumversation. Find and share "loot", fight crime, play games, and make friends. Customize your Chumbyland with your own pictures, custom items, and "Chumversation" topics. Chumbyland is an "Animal Crossing" like widget that is continually updated with new ideas from the community. Be sure to visit the Chumbyland Tourism Board at www.mychumbyland.com to get started.
Chumby is providing these community-developed widgets as a courtesy and makes no representations regarding the widgets or any information related to them. Any questions, complaints or claims regarding the widgets should be directed to the appropriate author.

Love this widget, its my favorite. Never played anything quite like it. Its always fun to meet fellow chumbians I could suggest though, somehow add weather info too. So like at your Home in real life its raining, in your Chumbylands Home its also raining (based on weather localization via the Weather channels feed from weather.com or something similar) and also day & nighttime reflected in your chumbyland home.

@SilverMarc - This will be addressed in version 2, but for the time being you need to have at least one other widget running. The best refresh time is about 5-10 minutes max. Thanks for the comments.

I must admit, when this widget shows up on my channel I'm always happily compelled to interact with it to see what's going on with my "Chum." I've noted, however, that if one "sticks" on the widget or sets it to permanent, the actions of traveling or returning seem to cease, so one has to either reload the channel or, as a workaround, set two Chumbyland Widgets as the only widgets on a channel so they're "forced" to reload regularly. Perhaps this could be looked into by the develephant team. --Marc

I would not have thought I would get to the point of looking forward to see what my chum has been up to! This is already very cool... and I can tell it is only getting better! I can't wait to see what Develephant has up his sleeve next!

Oops! I created an item for Chumbyland but the background isn't transparent. Is there a way I can fix it and re-upload the artwork so it looks nicer?

@adrian.bloomer - You can view a whole guide here http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=3030, but you need to have a Chum on your My Chums list, or wherever you see a send mail button.

Hi! Excellent widget! But I'd like to be able to change the name of my Chum. When I joined Chumbyland the name of my chumby was just the default "Chumby", and now I cant change it. Or can I?

Version 1.6 adds some simple customization. Thanks for the comments.

Please add: #1. The ability to change what your Chummy says when he's clicked on. #2. The ability to enter in a URL to a properly formatted JPEG so you can change the background of your house for visitors to see. #3. The ability to make gifts, either using the setup interface on this website, or on the Chumby itself by selecting a ICON picture and adding some text to name and describe it. #4. Time and Date display. Thank you very much for your work on this intriguing application!

I'm sure you are already thinking of these, but here is a list of possible additions: #Your chum is named after your user name (but would therefore limit to 1 chum per user) #Your 'home' is named after your chumby #You can see people that are passing thru your chumby/home #You can choose to view your chumby/home or the chumby in which your chum is currently travelling thru #You collect items which are visible in your home/chumby or on your chum #More stats: levels/exp, distance travelled etc

The widget needs to automatically update your chum's status - if you have the widget pinned, your chum will remain doing the same thing forever, you shouldn't need to manually reload the widget to update the status of your chum.

Please enhance your description here with some details on how to USE the game. It's not very clear. There's no information on how to change what your character says when you tap him, or how to find things.

I'm confused on how to use it. I go to pack and he does nothing. Maybe some better instructions?

Hi cbreeze. Just stumbled across "Chumbyland" - thanks for a great implementation of my original idea. You've really captured the essence of what I was thinking. I hope everyone in the chumby-sphere takes a look and helps develop this concept further. Cool - ricmib

I'm a tad bit confused. I told my guy to take a short trip, and he's been packing for quite a while. also, these symbols keep appearing above his head. what are they? is that the only thing it does for now?

Awesome, just awesome. I'm looking forwards to your next stuff, Develephant. You might just make the Chumby Widget world rock.
