Awesome. I'd be very interested in:
- How to write something from the user into his newsstream. Does it make a difference to post there text only or also text and an image for instance?
- Get friend list and user name/details
- authenticate with FB
- Is it possible to store some prefs in the FB account of the user?
That is the first stuff I'm very interested in. Awesome work you do, greatly appreciated!!!

Please let us know if you used FBML or asp.net or another flavor to integrate. I personally use asp.net with facebook and integrate Unity through calls that way. I never could get Unity to work through FMBL, that over 5 months ago though.

Since you want this to be a living document, how about creating a Wiki page on unifycommunity? The first revision could just be a copy/paste of your PDF content, and then others could add/update it over time.
I'd also be interested in newsstream posting, along with being able to send requests/notifications of in-game actions (e.g. "you friend has just infected you as a zombie in the game Zombieland").

I will touch on the newstreams and alerts briefly by showing how your app can trigger such an action, though the configuration of those alerts (with pictures, without pictures, etc) is purely Facebook Platform.
I'll consider the wiki. I didn't mean quite that 'living', simply that I would update this PDF every couple of months.
Storing information is a tricky part of this, and it got trickier a few months back when Facebook put new restrictions on apps. To be safe, you can really any store the Facebook ID of a user and his or her friends. With this ID, though, you can store high scores, preferences, etc,

Looking forward to that. I'm currently working on a Unity/Facebook framework for my own stuff, and I hope to learn a few things from you. Maybe later on, I can then add my own experiences.

I think its great you want to share the Facebook-Unity integration. As you know I ran across some troubles and it will definitely help a lot a people and save them quite some headache with the pitfalls there are.
I'm looking forward to your document! |

I've been working on a sample project, which will also have a small, limited, but expandable, API for which others can use to integrate Facebook with their apps.

It will eventually be on the wiki. Been working on it for a couple days. Got most of it working in Safari, having some issues with Firefox, but I'll get it down.

Here's a WIP shot from the app. It queries for your UserID, then your Info, then your Photo. The User information is displayed on the right.
The next query will be for friends who use this same app. I hit a couple of bumps (rather big ones...) which set me back a couple of days. Just so everyone is aware, I will be providing all the source code for this project.
I have a small Color Matching game intended so I can demonstrate achievements/scoring as well.
