# bobbin

 

Bobbin is a small Unity editor tool that automatically downloads files into your Unity project

- downloads files (text, images, etc) from any URL, and/or any publicly viewable Google Docs or Google Sheets without any login or OAuth

- perfect for collaborating with designers, writers, or translators... edit stuff collaboratively in browser, and then auto-import the data directly into your game

    - ___NOTE: it's up to you to write game code to read / process the files!___

    - ___NOTE: this is a one-way no-auth read-only sync, you **CANNOT** use this to upload local changes back into Google Docs, etc.___

- all your settings (URLs and file paths) are saved in a ScriptableObject, convenient for source control

- really lightweight; the core code is just 3 C# files

## how to use it

- **go to ["Releases"](https://github.com/radiatoryang/bobbin/releases), download the latest unitypackage, and import it into your Unity project**

- for more info / help, see the [Wiki](https://github.com/radiatoryang/bobbin/wiki)

- pairs well with [Yarn Spinner](https://github.com/thesecretlab/YarnSpinner)

- tested on Unity 2018.3.2f1

## if you need a serious spreadsheet solution, this isn't it

This is just a simple tool that only downloads files, and does nothing more! For a big fancy tool that can generate data-types / C# auto-completion, here are some better options for integrating spreadsheet data into your game:

- [Meta Sheets](http://metasheets.com/)

- [CastleDB](http://castledb.org/) / [CastleDB-Unity-Importer](https://github.com/kkukshtel/castledb-unity-importer)
