Skinner3D Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Am I right in thinking that the Russian Roulette randomly picks songs from the site? Would it be possible for someone to write a gadget for iGoogle that linked the Russian Roulette or did the same thing as the Russian Roulette? I found the one that shows the most recent remixes, but I need something more random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eilios Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Fundamentally, all you need to do is have a script that checks OCR for the latest remix, and then have a randomizer program that checks to see if the random number is higher then that of the latest remix, and if so, randomizes again. So yes, it is possible. But I don't know what the Russian Roulette does, nor do I use iGoogle, so it'd be better to get someone who has more in depth experience.

analoq Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Fundamentally, that won't work. It does not take into account ReMixes that have been removed. And even if there were a remix for every ID you would only have a list of IDs and not the titles, artists, game, etc. to go with it. If someone wanted to build such a gadget their best bet would be to leverage the YouTube API and pull videos at random off the ocremix channel. cheers.
