Team Fortress 2 Facebook application launched

Posted on March 6, 2008, 6:44 pm EST

Since I enjoy playing TF2 and I enjoy talking to the TF2 community on message boards and during the game, I wanted to give something back. Since I am "ok" at software development, I designed a Team Fortress 2 Stats Facebook application that TF2 games could place their TF2 statistics on their profile.

Currently, the application is in beta stage and the facebook PHP framework will be shared (OpenSource) with the community. I have created a PHP TF2 Parser which will parse any steam profile. That will be OpenSource as well when I finish documenting the library.

There are many additions that could be included in this application such as Statistics. Statistics would be a cool thing that will let the user know his rank among Gender, Age, Location, etc. It is currently in development, but would be cool if anyone would lend a hand.

The application has a sophisticated theme engine, where the user could custom build his own TF2 Profile badge by simply altering the theme. The theme manager consists of theme variables that if entered, it will transform into live TF2 stat data. Such as the default theme:

CODE:

<div> 
<img src="{Class!image}" alt="my class img" style="float:left; " /> 
<div style="padding-left:70px"> 
<strong>Max Points: </strong>{Class!points} <br /> 
<strong>Max Damage: </strong>{Class!damage} <br /> 
<strong>Max Kills: </strong>{Class!kills} <br /> 
<strong>Max Destruction: </strong>{Class!destructions} <br /> 
<strong>Total Class Play Time: </strong>{Class!totalTime} hours<br /> 
<strong>Last 2 Weeks Play Time: </strong>{Record!2WeekPlayTime} hours <br />
<strong>Total TF2 Play Time: </strong>{Record!playTime} hours<br /> 
</div> 
</div>
