Unity Dynamic Mesh Creation
I started a project with [dynamic mesh generation].
[Snowy Ground] from the Allegorithmic Substance Share looks great.
Unity WebGL Microphone Plugin
I moved the Microphone WebGL module out of my Word Detection package and into [its own public repository]. The module makes the Microphone API available on WebGL. It’s going to be a couple years before Unity adds the built-in functionality for Microphone on WebGL.
There’s a user `Will` who needs it working and I made the module public to move development along…
Unity Tree View Control
Unity added a [TreeView Control] to the Unity editor.

LIFX Cycle Lights
I made a [Holiday Lifx Console App] that cycles between festive colors. Initially, I had a [question] about the API, and now it works like a charm.

Prime31UnityActivity.jar Source
I need the [Prime31] source from [Mike] to the `Prime31UnityAcivity.jar` which is used by the [Android Social Networking], the [Android In App Billing Plugin], and the [Android Etcetera Plugin].
In the end, I just had to delay the `UnityPlayer` pause so that C# had time to pause the music before pausing the rest of the UnityPlayer.
Python Camera Adjust Iso For Sunset And Sunrise
Install the `astral` Python package.
sudo pip install astral
Be sure to [set the timezone].
Python script to adjust the iso based on sunrise and sunset.

NDK Target 23
Here is a strange [NDK issue]. I had to move the native code to its own module with a min SDK, target SDK, and compile tools set to API 21 in order to get the native library to load properly. This started happening after upgrading to `android-ndk-r12b`.

Google Play publishing requires a new target of 24 and you have to set the `Ripple Color`. I created a [sample project].
