I was just playing around and I thought to myself why don’t I try make something just to keep myself on my toes and this is what I came up with, it uses the TinyXmlReader from the wiki to parse the xml…

Anyway take a look at the example, it’s not much but it shows the basics.

Crashed FireFox here. :cry:

I’ve only tried it on Chrome and it works, I’ve been playing with the code a little bit since I’ve posted, so I will try to update it and see what happens then

4

Works for me on Firefox :slight_smile:

Where u running it fullscreen bigkahuna?

5

I just tried IE, FireFox, Chrome and Opera and they all worked fine…

Just uploaded a newer version, this one will update the feed every 10 minutes in order to keep you up to date and I added an Update Now button.
The xml that is used is located here So you can see the layout, I will be releasing the code shortly just want to make sure that everything is working and perhaps make a php script in order to update the feed XML from a webpage.

Nope, opened the link in a new tab in FF, running on a MBP with OS X 10.4.11.

bigkahuna is it still not working for you?

Firefox in 32bit Vista Home Basic worked fine for me.

I am currently releasing the code to the public to take a look and see what’s what. It can be found here http://www.corruptedheart.co.cc/p/feed-me-script_9691.html

If you have time take a look, any feedback is appreciated.

I added a completely simply PHP form that adds “feeds” to the XML document, you can thus add your own feeds to the example at http://survive.pcriot.com/feedme/update.html

You can abuse it for now but eventually I will add more advanced login things and so on…

Enjoy.

I have updated it, mainly added a few nice looking features, made the draw calls get reduced by added it all to a single label instead of separate textareas, I also changed the default skin a bit to allow it to scale appropriately… I will update the scripts on my blog in the morning…

This is very interesting, I will keep an eye on this.

Thanks, Robert

@Robert - Thanks

I have been working on a new version of FeedMe which allows you to add to the feed from within unity… However I believe that unity takes the feed from the cache so it doesn’t update the feed that you see in the app.

Uploaded the latest version(0.7) which features some bug fixes that I didn’t see before and a few updates. The php script has also been updated, it is located at here.
