I’ve been struggling lately to get Facebook to work inside my Unity game as I wanted to use the new Graph API and the compiled .dll had to be .NET 2.0 to work within Unity. There was also the issue of finding a good JSON library that worked with .NET 2.0 and the fact that Mono had issues accessing https via the System.Net library…

When using a third-party product with any Microsoft product it usually spells trouble and you know some rough times are ahead – especially in this case where I was trying to retrieve a list of accounts on Dynamics CRM via SOAP and PHP.

Here we have a sample demo of sending and receiving SMS (text messages) in real-time using APE‘s libape_controller. We also utilize an SMS gateway called Esendex which is a UK based company – hence the name EsenAPE. When a message is sent to Esendex (e.g. you reply to the text you sent yourself) it will call a URL (RPC.php) we can then pass this onto APE for updating the users UI. The idea originated from a project I’ve just completed with work, Alert and Respond which basically does what this demo does but not in real time (polls every 30 seconds). It’s a good example of how to use the libape_controller – let me know what you think 
I’ve recently been working on a Facebook application called “Call of Duty 5 Statistics” – for you gamers out there you probably know already what is it. You can basically share, view and compare statistics regarding Call of Duty 5 with your Facebook friends.
I’ve just took it out of sandbox mode so it’s complete live and ready to go! You can add the application visiting http://apps.facebook.com/codstats/ or check my statistics out.

This could be extremely helpful in pushing UI changes to users clients, something I struggle to implement using plain PHP and JavaScript.
