(English) A New year starts and this one will be the year of Google Wave. In this new post we talk about what we expect about Google Wave and everything related.
After a week or so having the chance of developing for GW we have come with an extension that can help us show how to explore almost all the capabilities of the API ( as for 07/08/09 )
The reason why we want to do this is that we have found that there are many issues with the documentation provided that need a lot of time to get through. We will try to not to repeat much of what’s said in the official documentation and often link to it.
As an introduction to the manual we will here present our extension.
Our aim was to make a directory of robots of our own to be able to inter-actuate with it from a wave directly.
Our extension is called Seekdroid, you can access it by either adding ( seekdroid@appspot.com ) to any wave or visiting the webpage http://seekdroid.appspot.com/
By now it’s quite rudimentary but that’s because we have made it basically for educative means.
The robot allows the following commands:
/list ( number of elements ) – Will list the N last robots in our directory.
/invite Name – Will add the specified robot to the conversation.
/show Name – Will show the info related to the robot.
/add- Will add the robot to our database and will wait for one of the moderators to accept it’s adhesion to the list.
/leave – Makes Seekdroid leave the conversation ( Not yet implemented because of the API )
/author – Shows information about the authors of this robot.
From a developer’’s point of view Seekdroid is formed by a robot, which interacts with wave, a webpage and in a very small part by a gadget which is used to serve as an interface for the robot to allow adding robots to the database.
In this tutorial we want to see in depth the robot part. But we still think that it’s worth it to lightly explain how to understand the rest of the robot and where to start if you want to do any of the other parts on your own.
Where to start?
To be able to program something for Wave at this stage is almost imprescindible to use AppEngine
The documentation on AppEngine is very complete and can be fount here
Please don’t hesitate asking any question both on the blog or the Wave that follows.
