How to Embed Games in Altspace & Banter Worlds
Games are simple to embed into both AltspaceVR (the new Altspace on altvr.app) and BanterVR worlds. Just insert a <script> tag into your space's HTML. Configuration can be done via HTML Script Attributes (recommended) or legacy URL Query Parameters (for backwards compatibility).
In Altspace you can also add each game as a snippet: when editing your world on altvr.app, open Snippets and choose All, or in Unity add a BS > Snippet component and type the snippet name shown on each game below. Details opens each game's own page with setup steps and how to play.
