openUrl not too reliable

Postby ikarus » Sun Oct 02, 2011 5:09 pm

I just spent 2 days working on something to use with openUrl and now it doesn't seem to be working on my linux box. Proves that you shouldn't assume something works before you start work on it. But anyways, I have a pretty obscure linux distribution (Crunchbang), and I'm wondering if openUrl works for anyone else with linux that happens to be using GE. Just want to find out if I'm the exception.

No, openUrl has never worked for me (Fedora, 9-15). I'll add it as a bug (I never use it so I didn't think of adding it).

Can't wait for 1.5... I'm going to go ahead and work on this, sucks that any linux users I have won't be able to use the scoreboard though

I created a cgi program in google go and sqlite. It's really nice too, it has templating, and the scores are put into the webpage as an unordered list with the names and scores tagged with classes so they can be styled, in descending order. Also some basic encryption. I may release it for everyone once I think it's gotten to a good level of development
