Questions about recreating a Plugin such as Antigame

  • Questions about recreating a Plugin such as Antigame

    Hey,

    I was using antigame all the time when playing ogame (paused / stopped playing it some months ago though, still translating the new texts into german ;)) and now i would like to create a "similar" version of it for another webside. So im asking for help, since i dont know where do start with the plugin / programming part. im used to programming in other languages though, so its just a little help to make a smooth start =).

    I found some developer kits online for creating a plugin, but its not that much help. :/

    My core questions are:
    1. how do i start (lol)
    2. how do i make the plugin read and change the sourcecode of the webside


    I didnt find a better place to post this. If its wrong in here, move it ;).

    thanks for the help

    best wishes

  • Hello,

    Well, your questions says, that you are without any experience using JavaScript and Broswer addons / userscripts.

    I strongly recommend to start your project as a userscript - NOT as browser plugin. With a userscript you can change something on the website nearly immediatly without any background code etc - And userscripts are useable on all modern browser except IE.

    For Firefox run a userscript via Greasemonkey, for Chrome / Opera Next via Tampermonkey

    How to start:

    See greasespot.net/ and read the wiki, see example userscripts etc - this will help you a lot.

    To access and change the website content, preferably use jQuery , see jquery.com/ - How to include it is explained in the Greasemonkey wiki and also in stackoverflow.com/

    Stackoverflow is the best place to find solutions for concrete problems / questions.
