I am a complete newb programmer (if you discount that adventure game I wrote in Basic back in the eighties on my C64 lol after being inspired by Zork.)

Im waiting on;
A. A learning C# programming book from amazon (still hasnt arrived grr) &/or
B. Appmakr for WP7 beta testing approval.

What I want to create (I don't think it will be super hard) is a dedicated server Game checking app. One that allows;

- Live tile update (we have a US based hosted game server & website) with http Game server selected displaying name, number of players and map being played.

- Detailed App showing Server info, Player list, live scores and other details accessible from current gametracking websites (like stats, top scores-players etc).

Example of Basic App layout I want:
http://tinyurl.com/4nfvrza

Example of Live Tile info (not gfx):
http://tinyurl.com/45j9epk

What do you think ? Too ambitious ? (yes I know you can just load up much of this info in a webpage – but that can be said of heaps of apps in the marketplace).

Be interested in any feedback.

It is a niche app idea – but one that works for any online game that uses dedicated servers....

:)

PS the IP address for the server in the 1st pic is for the Day of Defeat Server in the US I help run from Melbourne...
Nice idea man, should be pretty easy to implement depending on the communication model used on the servers. You'll have to humour me here, not a gamer ;) - what options would you have to pull the info from the servers?

PM me if you want to have a go at it and want some help.

To Do list app supporting live tile where the live tile shows the first 5 to do items in your to do list so you never need to launch the to do app and you truely have a glance and go tile. If no ones does it I will. Eventually. One day. Some day. Ho hum! :)

SiriusXM app or wifi tether working so I can connect my ipod touch and use their sirius app.

Google maps/navigation, I used the bing navigation on wm6.5 but it isn't as good as googles.

Wolfram|Alpha

I use Wolfram|Alpha on Bings search engine all the time, helps me out in school alot. I would pay for a good app that takes full advantage of Wolfram|Alpha and everything it can do. Especially if i could just take a picture of the equation and have everything pop up instantly.
If anyone can develop this that would be great and i would definately pay for it :)

SMSBackup!

I switched over from android and there was an app called SMSBackup by Christopher Studer which, as you might have guessed, backed up your texts to Gmail. It was perfect and I wish there was something similar for WP7 :(

Hi Guys I have a good idea for an APP: I need of costant view of my cameras in a videosurveiillance system. Normally i can see them through remote access by pc but i would like to see them also by my wp7. Actually there is only a free app IPCAMERA that doesn't support dvrocx library to see on web cameras by dns.
I would like to see my dvr cameras through DNS and DVROCX library. Is it possible? Think it genius.

Any app to personalize the taskbar?
for example i like the taskbar to always show signal bar when it's 1/5 and 0/5
also show wi-fi icon when it's 1/4 or 0/4
or always show the E icon when connected to EDGE.
etc...

alt tab app

there are no other decent alt-tab apps avaliable so ive made a picture of one just for an idea.
hopefully someone will pick up on this and develop it for us WM geeks :rolleyes:

the basic layout for the alt tab app i want, eg:



*swipe gestures, left or right to change to which app you want.. obviously lol, but with no animations so its faster and wont rape my ram ;)

*swipe down to open the desired app, so it simply opens the app but again with no animations.

*swipe up to cancel and exit, maybe add an animation on exit.


???
