WhatPulse

I was bored today and started an unofficial PureBasic WhatPulse team.
WhatPulse is a program that tracks your total keystrokes and mouseclicks, but it is not a keylogger. The site is at www.whatpulse.org and the PB team site is at http://whatpulse.org/stats/teams/7312/
I would have a live signature image in my sig, but their forum image server is currently down. I thought this would be neat since a lot of PureBasic users here probably type around 50,000 characters a day.

but it should only catch when jaPBe is on focus .. or the official IDE .. nope?
It should also be released as open source.. so everyone can compile (yes, we dont trust you

) but we wont hack it either.

Its quite a waste of time though!.
But good luck

This is too funny.

I actually suggested him to make his own keystroke and click counter, but only to work when a PB editor is being used (or any selected application, let it be notepad for example...).. Instead of using that crap.. And then, he could send the data via the program to a php site where it would generate a signature using a gd2 extension where it would print the actual keystrokes, etc.. that'd be a real "something" not just "hooo ho I signed in and now lets all signup yo"

OOOOH! I see what your post meant earlier. Sorry about that dagcrack. I thought you were suggesting something for the jaPBe.

I did not write the site though. There are thousands of other teams on there too. There is a GD-generated signature image here:
http://whatpulse.afraid.org/
But that server has been down for about a week. I wish they would get the freakin thing fixed.

Now, as for writing a client that only works for PB, I have no clue as the regular windows client is not open-source. I dont cheat on WP, I have been there for over a year. Not my fault I type a lot.

By cheating I meant with the PB client - I dont care if their client source is not open source, its quite an easy thing to programm believe me!.

Catching mouse and keystrokes is quite an easy task.
But it would be nice if it only catched when you're actually programming! (PB ide on focus or jaPBe on focus). That'd be a nice idea.

And the php script would be hosted on any server that supports php and all data stored into a mySQL db.. its all easy. From there, you can do anything you want (with GD2, etc).

also by cheating I meant, if you release this client source, then someone would just edit the source so it sends fake data to the server, compile and start cheating!... The "pulse" idea is good, as it doesnt send data everytime theres a keystroke (duh that'd be so stupid!!) so, say every 10.000 keystrokes the client should send a pulse to the server (call it a "beat" if you want or a "say hail" - for copyright issues

).

Yes I know theres many groups and stuff... but its not for PB, it would be nice to know which one of us programms more, etc.. by having us listed in a site and display all the nifty info at the side of our nicks.

Now.. if anyone had enough spare time for developing this

- not me -

Hope you got what I meant now

Cheers!
