The WebApp is up!

My hobby project is finally online!

A Google App Engine webapp that gets location data from Fire Eagle, plots it on a Google Map, and lets you track players around.

And it works! Kinda. Mostly.

Eventually, a player would...

1. pick a target nearby

2. track him

3. take a picture of the target

4. upload the pic with location data

Then they would get a neat little log with both players' locations as the game evolved, plus pictures at the start and end. Possibly annotated... maybe :)

Next steps: pic uploading, actual CRUD instead of hackery, log views... score updating... OK there's actually a lot of work to go. But it works! Yay!

Known issues:

-the map is always centered near my apartment

-the player page is a mish-mash of player page and user homepage

-lots of debug info everywhere, etc

Anyway, it was fun.

If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share! Constructive criticism welcome also.
