DPC on your mobile/cell phone - DPChallenge Forums

I've been fiddling around, and got my DPC scores to update from a Windows app to dynamic WAP website in semi-realtime:

//www.calcaria.net/wap/paulmdx.wml

It's in beta at the moment, but I'm happy to give people a go, if anyone's interested.

Cool. I was thinking of trying something like this, but never got round to it.

The user interface needs some work :-)

Are those your real scores, or dummy data?

Yeah - it's just a beta I knocked up in about an hour. It fulfills my needs, but I'll make improvements on request.

As of.....now....the scores are real (I hope this is ok).

I take it these are still your scores? How hard would it be to set it up so that each person loading the page gets their own scores after logging in?

The principle is:

1. You run a systray app on your PC that specifies your secret username (NOT your DPC username).

2. This app gets the score from the DPC website (assuming you have a cookie for auto login - it won't work otherwise).

3. The score is then sent to the Calcaria server, which builds the WML page.

4. On your mobile you go to //www.calcaria.net/wap/.wml and see your score.

Incidentally, this functionality is in place, if with the ugly WML page. :-)

If anyone does want to use the program / WAP site, private message me.
