DryIce's entry for the YTMND:API:Contest. TL;DR: An AIM Bot that allows instant access to information about a user or a site.
About
Written in Java 1.5, uses the TOC2 Protocol to connect to the AIM OSCAR Servers. Processes requests made via AIM, and connects to the API to get the requested data.
Status
Development
- 11/11/2007 - Compiled and tested class to connect to YTMND API and retrieve XML data
- 11/15/2007 - Compiled and run for the first time, bot is able to look up basic site info.
- 11/20/2007 - Smarter XML Parser. But being more of a serial parser rather than a DOM parser, it doesn't work well for things like /comments (Since the most recent comments are last rather than first).
- 11/30/3007 - Slow development is slooow. Its going to take some time to get this thing fully funcitonal. One or two commands implemented, but I think I might have to look into DOM XML parsing, which is going to take a good amount of time.
Service
Online sporadicly for testing purposes only.
