Hi there,
I guess, I'm not the only one to use a computer during my game session and everytime I want to show a picture to my player I had to turn my laptop taking care of not throwing stuff on the floor or worse.
So one of my player developped a small app that do only one thing (yet) send a screenshot to a webpage.
then, my players can have access to it through an ipad or my asus tablet (or any another web device) via the ip address of my computer.
yes it's basic
still it allow me to show them what I want them to see :-)
what is needed.
>on the server side
- a web server on the laptop : fo example apache or iis (I installed a light version of xampp)
- the ddshare.exe and DDshare.htm in the \xampp\htdocs\ folder
>on the users side.
- a web browser and your IP address. (for example http://192.168.1.2/DDshare.htm)
I didn't try it yet but it should also works with a shared dropbox folder, for exemple.
you will find the sofware here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14722510/DDshare.zip
how it works:
launch DDshare.exe
clic on capture to capture a new picture.
you can save it by clciking on the +
you can delete it by clicking on the -
select <new> to make a new screenshot
so you can prepare in advance a batch of pictures
the next version should include a masking system, and a "push" button to allow the DM to force the refresh of the users' browser.
comments are more than welcome.
