Hi guys,
After watching this tutorial, I wanted to create a simple mobile app/game that can:
a) Load a web-based text file (from a specific url) which inside contains several other urls linked to images.
b) From the urls I obtained from the text file (or any string info), load images inside the app.
Now the problem is that I want to have this ‘text’ information to be updated on a weekly basis. One method I found was through the video above which uses Steam’s workshop site and grab an entire html then load url addresses from the link inside the html. However, I do not know creating a web page using html and I thought it’d be a little overkill to create a web page to simply contain a text(string) info that I can read/write.
I’ve tried uploading a text file to a Google Drive then tried reading information from the file’s link but to no avail. I also tried creating a simple website with WIX & site.google.com but the text I loaded from my site did not show any information I inserted as a text on the web page. I could perhaps try this with Google Cloud maybe? Still, it came to my mind that there must be a much easier way to do this.
After all, all I need to do is
a) The app/game connects to an external link written inside the code
b) then extract a text information from it
c) then load those images on the app.
Hope this makes sense. Apologies if my explanation wasn’t enough. Thanks in advance!
