PreviewTGP automation script hack
 

Get the script

With all the hub bub around Preview TGPs, I started
hacking up a dirty script that will take a file of URLs
and retreive the first valid image, thumb it and add it
to an HTML page.

There's a shit load of requirements, including having a
clue about unix and perl, but it is a usable base to work
from if you want it.

Cheers!

Thanks. Will have a look at it.

Okay if I mess about with the code a bit?

Anybody on GFY is welcome to use, modify, redistribute
...etc. NOBODY is allowed to sell it.

It's a rough hack, but as you can see it's easily
made into a util to out put an SSI include file for a TGP.

Cheers!

can I sell it?

Yah sure but ONLY if you provide worldwide 1-800
support for ANY modified version that eventually
surfaces.

...NO! It's a gift to the community since I never truely
finish any scripts, I like to just give away code when I'm
playing around. I tried the shareware game back in 1990
and I just never could put the proper effort into justifing
$25 for a hack.

I was kidding:)

Hey would this be the first GFY Open Source script ?

Nope, last month I gave away the source to a java
based strip poker game.
