Bored today so I made something...

[WazzaMouse]

Because of this thread on mnet O was motivated to make something this morning. Outcome below:


[quote=vihaan]Any chance of something like this for blackberry devices? [/quote]

Here ya go: Who's Online - Mobile Point your mobile device there.

I did a revamp of my Window's Gadget code

This web app expands when on an iPad to show the players and games side by side. When on a smaller device you see everything in a narrower column.

Grayed out names are in-game.

on iOS you can save the bookmark to your home screen alongside your other apps. If someone on a blackberry will let me know if it has the custom blue home screen icon I'd be much obliged.

This refreshes every 30 seconds to update the data.

Uses jQuery Mobile so it should appear nicely in all modern smart phones.

Cheers

Thanks, your effort helps me to see that a certain player with a life ban from Mariusnet is currently playing

Or someone is impersonating him which is a seriously bad idea

How many players do you have a life ban on?

Thanks for the feedback Ed. I made some updates to help you identify people.

Before you could only see the login of the host. Now you can click on a player name in the list and see their login name and ID as well as what room they are in.

Also added more game info that appears when you click on that game.

I'd been meaning to do a web app for ages but you beat me to it If you have any use for graphics resources (map thumbnails, for example) from the iOS app I made, they're on GitHub under my username. Hooray for boredom-induced projects!

Thread necro time! Just wanted to mention that GoS now has a JSON feed with similar information to MariusNet's XML feed. As an added bonus, the GoS data is generated immediately on demand, so it's not even out of date for a minute or two like Mnet was Please feel free to use it to tie into your web pages, apps, etc. and let me know if there's missing information that I can add to it:

Coo, I'll add this to my apps sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Great! Like I said, just ping me if there's information missing, etc.

Another thing to note... I chose to make two separate lists - one for users, one for games - and link a game's host by user ID. An alternative organization is for any user that is hosting a game, the game info could simply be a part of that user record. I chose the current way because it seemed to map more naturally to how most of the current apps display the data (i.e. one pane for users, one for games), but I'd be happy to switch to the other format if you'd prefer.
