Website revamped
Well folks, it's that time of the year again for new updates. We thought it'd be appropriate to change the look of the site first. It's been, oh, almost 4 years since the first post and, since we have taken an exciting new turn in our productions and our collaborations (as you will soon see), why not change our looks too? Stay tuned, very soon our new game is... setting sail for the first ti...

A developer’s experience with Facebook

Posted By: admin on August 8, 2009 in News


Have been tinkering with the Facebook Developer API for over two days to manage to include the Crossword Fun game to their Application Directory. Then, it was necessary to wait for another two days for their system to be updated. I mean, that a simple cron job that should run once a day, needs a whole lot more. Four days in total… Now, that is a lot of wasted time for such a simple task!

I must say that Facebook developers’ experience with the API is as frustrating as Facebook end-users’ experience is (I never liked Facebook as a user, I find it unfriendly to say the least). But even as a developer who wishes to roll out an application to Facebook, you get more of the same sh*t; there is a complete lack of any formal documentation and hardly any testing to the new features that come out. Developers are easily lost and, what should be an easy task, becomes a daunting task! Many things seem to be broken since deployment.

Anyway, after a lot of effort I managed to port the Flash application to Facebook (just a Facebook iframe which hosts the Crossword SWF file) but it still requires some more visitors before being accepted. So, I’d appreciate your click on my link (requires login in to your Facebook account) over here:

All participations are highly appreciated. Cheers.
