Coding issues.

I have been thinking about how much can be automated. The QR codes could be shrunk down, whitespace added as a border, and then numbers added to the border to indicate a sequence. A tool such as ImageMagick might help, or some other batch mode graphics package.

ImageMagick is one (of two?) graphics packages used in the Mediawiki software to resize images.

I have also looked the Bookleteer API, but with nothing to report at the moment....

  1. Apart from a correction at the top of the example code in the documentation

    define('API_URI', 'http://bookleteer/api/');

    should read

    define('API_URI', 'http://bookleteer.com/api/');

  2. Been using my Swiss Army knife. But although I can create an object, I cannot modify it. I think it worked twice. Not sure what the magic spells are at the moment. Feeling like a novice. Perhaps I should read the documentation....

  4. ImageMagick looks like the one to use.
    The more I think about it, the more I'm interested in using QR codes rather than map-images - having a sequence of locations unveiled, one by one will lead to a richer user-experience I think.
    We should try-out a QR and image-sequence version soon see how it works on the ground…
