Discussion: List of Glitch API Creations

It's really amazing to see many developers already playing with the API!

Please post your creations based on the Glitch API here! 
Itsa coming. :)
Glutt: Find Cheap Stuff on Auction.
www.FeedYourGlutt.com/
I'm not sure if this already exists or not, I only just joined the beta a few days ago. The app I made allows you to search the features of a street by region.

I was always looking for the closest rock or shrine to my current location, but there isn't an easy place to find that information. Eventually, I'd like to add a pathfinding algorithm that tells you the closest street that has the item you're searching for. I'd hate to go through all the trouble if it already exists though. There's also no styles, I wanted to wait and see if this would be useful to people or not.

It does have the ability to set a street as your destination, I think. I never got a chance to test it before the beta closed again.

Please let me know what you think.
I went ahead and completed a breadth first search algorithm to find the nearest location. I occasionally receive errors from what I think are bad accesses to streets that don't exist. This code could use some cleanup to catch errors like this and be more user friendly, but again, just focusing on the functionality.

Feedback welcome!

Not so much a creation as just a couple things I made to structure playing with the API, but www.101suburbia.net/glitch/ has the world's simplest Glitch Trumps (Glumps? No, never mind), and a quick and dirty stuff finder.

It's all pretty heavily cached while I'm poking at it, so info's not current or anything.

Allows users to add items they want to build in game to a list.

After the items (and quantities) chosen, the app will let the users know what items they are missing to finish the recipes they added to the list.

There's also the possibility to filter the items that need to be bought on each vendor.
I'm slowly building a random collection of things. The most interesting ones:
Inventory of Ur lets you find your nearest patch, wood tree or firefly swarm. This updates every couple of hours.
Auction price watcher is interesting to watch when the game is up - it shows you arbitrage opportunities, has over a month of history with interesting graphs; for example, see the decrease in price of allspice during the last test.
Hello, i'm working on an Android client, but it's not ready to release for the moment.
I just have authentication and skill learning done.
Just thought I'd play with the API a bit.   Came up with something similar to what Zog has already created, but it was a good learning experience none-the-less.

Appreciate any feedback:

It's still beta, but assuming you're all developers it is 'safe' enough to put out there.

GleetchTweet your unlocked Skills and Achievements!
http://www.gleetch.com

At the moment you can't change the text yet (nor can you toggle activation), so if you want to stop the tweets, you need to disallow twitter access over at twitter.com/settings/applications

But what it does is it will tweet your newly learned skills and newly unlocked achievements to twitter.

What will be added later: currant milestones, level-ups.
I'm working on an iPhone app. It's called Glitched. It has not yet been released to the App Store, but it is in beta (send me your email if you want it). Here are some recent screenshots.

I'm working on a better API wrapper for PHP; I released version 1.0.1 today. It's currently packaged as a plugin for CakePHP, but I also plan to release a general-use version of it in the near(-ish) future, hopefully.

One of the biggest improvements over the current PHP API wrapper is super-simple OAuth2 code-based authentication. Right now it only has method wrapper functions for the skills methods. It does direct requests to the API, and a big update is coming in the next couple days that will add wrappers for all available API methods.

Future plans include helper functions for easy rendering of various Glitch-related things, such as animations. Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your feedback, and if you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them.

Hey rintaun,

This looks impressive.

Having written my own API abstraction for CakePHP, I'd suggest looking to restructure your plugin somewhat. Connection to the API should be handled through a datasource. Calls to the API would be issued implicitly through models using the datasource. There is also technically no need to "out source" the specific API call implementation to classes in lib.

Regardless, one thing that struck me when looking through your code is the initialize() method in the GlitchApiComponent. You're instantiating a new object for every possible class of call. It would probably be better to think of a somewhat more lazy method of loading the right class / instantiating the right object for the task at hand.

Best,
Revilo
Revilo, thanks a lot for the input! I'd really like to discuss it more with you, if you're willing; having another interested mind to exchange ideas with would be wonderful. As you likely know, when you're just working on something alone, it can tend to be difficult to break out of your established thought patterns.

All that said, I don't really want to hijack this thread, either. Is there somewhere else we could talk?

Any mobile app store apps out there yet? 
I am working on a route planning system which allows users to set waypoints. It is just a proof of concept at the moment, but in a later stage of development i want to add clickable maps like the ingame map, maybe a search for streets or planning a route by resources...

The first version can be found at

Yup. I've got Glitch Inventory for iPad
Hi everyone!

I've just launched glinvite which offers simple and fun event planning for Glitches. We're having a launch party this coming Sunday with prizes, contests, and such. Details about the event can be found here. Hope to see you there!
www.glitchonomics.com - It's a work in progress, so no integration yet, but seeing as I just started working on it last night...maybe some folks will want to help me? I've already got the dedicated server from some other projects I do; let's geek out and spread the happiness!
Glitch Atlas - glitch-atlas.info

It allows browsing the world by region and each region by street, showing maps along the way.  It has a nice feature for searching by regions and streets by one or more resources, including the production of a heatmap as well as street links.

In terms of resource search, it has some overlap with the excellent Glitch Resource Database, which I didn't know about until someone mentioned it to me after seeing my site.  However, the approach is different enough that I think both sites are useful for exploring the world of Ur.
wow jannitch! is that from the API? I thought only low res street images were provided 
@yossi The maps are captured from in-game; the street side views and data is from the API.
@Pokkit luv the design of glitchonomics!
impressive numbers
@Lemo Thanks! It's only getting better. I've got a lot of server tuning to do.
