New GitHub project started - 3D Family Tree

[Scott Huskey]

I've restarted my development of 3D Family Tree -  An immersive 3D environment to experience your Family History in.

I've seen some discussion here about making Genealogy FUN.  Well, this is my take at it.

The GitHub project contains a VisualStudio C# project that uses the NuGet imported FamilySearch/Gedcomx API library.

So far this project (limited to the FamilySearch sandbox) reads in a directed sub-set of your Family History information, and saves it into an XML formatted file. This file represents the exact data objects that my (not yet uploaded) Unity3D application reads in to create a personalized Family History "first person shooter" type gaming environment.

The Wiki that I started might provide some insight into my inspiration.
