Project Euler Facebook App
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 9:36 pm
Hi,
I'm working on a Facebook app that lets you display your Project Euler score in a box on your profile, and post on your stream (news feed) whenever you solve new problems.
It's available at http://apps.facebook.com/project_euler/.
I asked the admins for permission. Unfortunately you currently have to click a button on the profile box to update the score displayed on your profile - this helps reduce the load on the server.
It follows the same approach as viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1466; I probably should have checked the forum to see if anyone was working on anything similar before working on this.
Sometimes my app times out when trying to retrieve the Project Euler scores from the site. I don't know what causes this problem yet (my app, my host, or the Project Euler site)
Any comments, criticism or suggestions (e.g. make the app look prettier, add new features, the app's not working) would be appreciated.
