Avatar e Grumpycoder

Oggi Apne mi ha fatto un regalo, e il risultato lo vedete qui a fianco.

Essenzialmente mi ha linkato un servizio web che prende i dati dalla WoW Armory e li usa per creare immagini (150×150 px) dei pg di World of Warcraft, aggiornate secondo i tempi dell’Armory (praticamente in tempo reale).

Siihmort:

Completa	Avatar

Mi è sembrata una cosa davvero carina.
Complimenti a pixel e Yaz0r, gestore e inventore del Grumpycoder.

For the past few months I’ve been working with my friend Pixel on a web based World of Warcraft model viewing application. The basic idea was to create a system to create avatars based on WoW characters that would always be in sync with their in-game version (and not having to refresh it manualy everytime you change your equipement). In the original plan, we were using the guild rosters to fetch characters equipement, but soon afterward Blizzard announced the Armory website as just to fit our needs for a more practical access to the character data.

With most of the data now accessible, we started working on a prototype website that gave interesting results. I was responsible for nearly everything related to character rendering, while Pixel worked on a custom lua-based web server, that would be fetching data from armory, manage character rendering request and tie everything-up.

To start testing things a bit in more depth we opened an early website that will allow you to generate a character representation that should keep itself in sync with your in-game equipement… [...]
