DCnow widget v.01

Post#1 » Mon Mar 27, 2017 9:58 am

Hey everyone.

I found myselft refreshing that http://dreamcast.online/now/ webpage quite alot and told myself that I should just make a little widget that fetchs the data and alerts me if a new player comes online. It's not 100% done and I haven't made the windows/macosx/linux package yet, but they should be ready soon.

The program is made with Processing (https://processing.org) so you could grab that, and get the source on my repo ( https://github.com/lerabot/DCnow_widget ) and run the .PDE file. It's pretty straighforward, but don't ask question here. I'll provide proper executables in the next few days.

I'm looking for all your inputs tho.
Also, I'm using Kazade's data to do this, as he provided the .json file openly, if there's a problem Kazade, please let me know.

Here's a very basic screenshot of what it looks like

Features :
Display online players name and game currently playing.
Fetches the Kazade's DCnow data every minute.
NEXT UPDATE -> Add sound notification ( need to find a good notification sound ;) )
