possible upcoming project

Post by Red Squirrel »

Not sure if I'll do this or not but figured it would be cool. I'd like to program a custom states page for here that would update as the UD stats update, so basically it would grab the info from the UD database. Right now only thing I have in mind is grabbing it from the actual stats page, which would be tricky as I'd have to decode the html to get the numbers, and if they update the layout I'd have to update the script to be compatible, but I think this should be easy to do. Another option is if UD has a way to display raw stats, so it would be less coding to fetch the data.

That's project 1

Project 2, I've been lazy or either forgetting about the stats a lot, so I'm thinking of programming a bot that will automaticly post the stats, based on project1's stats, it would basically be a "Save page as..." done by the bot, and posted using the new and improved dohtml tag.

I have other priorities such as starting up on the cybervillage (SQL version) but this may or may not get done. This should be cool. :thumbsup:

I think I'll go for it right now. Not the php script, figured it's sort of pointless, but I'll make a program that will generate the stats very quick for posting. In the future I'll make it so it posts it automatically. The stats will be generated at the click of a mouse. :D
