Yet another simple Fackbook app: MyGameTags

Wednesday, May 7, 2008 by Admin

So after I got a bit familiar with the Fackbook APIs and FBML stuff. I suddenly got an idea to place my gamecard of my Xbox Live account into the facebook profile so that someone I know could see I am a live user and add me to their friend list. To be fair, I also set users to put Wii friend code and PSN Ids in the profile too. But since they got no official gamecard, I can only display the ids given. This app is pretty simple, which only includes a form for user inputs and the profile_setFBML() function, which allows the app to set a FBML into the user profile’s application box. To bad the fb:iframe is not allowed in the profile and so I cant use the official gamercard.xbox.com but borrow pictures from mygamercard.net instead. If you want to show your game tags and game cards to your friends, you can try it out at

Simple: Rock Paper Scissors

Yeah, so I spent quite some time to read about those facebook FBML and API stuffs (not during office hours!!! lol ) and finally made a simple facebook web application. It’s just a simple game of Rock Paper Scissors. I just completed the parts to make it functional and editional features such as leaderboards will be added at a later time.I do not expect a lot of people would add it but letting my friends to play with is happy enough for me. :)
If you guys wanna try out this app, you can visit Rock Paper Scissors

I will post some simple techniques on developing facebook apps when I have time. =)
