Default Re: Announcement: God\'s Eye Version 0.1

While waiting for the evening to experience GodsEye, I've come up with a feature request already:

Could you include the possibility to trigger the execution of an external batch/script file whenever there is a new turn for any of the monitored games available?

With such a facility to trigger external commands, one could then just play a beep or send an email as a notification, without the need to bother the host to setup these things! I never got the dommunion-tool to work properly, but a customized notification via GodsEye for everyone would even be better!

PS: I am well aware that you wrote that this is your first release. I am just curious about your todo-list...so please no grudges for me being pretty greedy!


EDIT: Rephrased things a bit since I figured that I could have been easily misunderstood...

Ok, here a sketch of the next steps that I am planing for the client:
  • Automatic Refresh
  • "Start Game" button
  • Getting some more information from the server (server version etc.)
  • Notification on game update

and of course: Bugfixing, documentation, usability etc.

I will try this after you have relinked it.
Do you plan to release the source code?

The application has been relinked ... can you please try it now.

About the source code: I will release the source if JK is fine with it (he gave me some internals about the protocol) and when I have cleaned up the to the level that I don't disgrace myself by releasing it ;-) Licence would be some BSD license ...

But be warned, I have coded the application in Eiffel (Java and C++ programmers seem to hate this language). A free (as in beer not as in speech) version of the compiler can be found at http://www.eiffel.com

Sure, you have my blessing to release it. Great job by the way. I haven't tried it, but the screenshot looks nice and useful.

Bluebird, are you still working on this?
I'd love to see an OS X version.
Or, if you don't want to do it, I would be happy to take your code and rewrite an OS X version myself...
