Imagine Cup 2010 US is having People’s Choice Award again this year, where other can see the great creativity work from US competitor and vote which one you like the most. Here is the top 10 competitor’s creativity work showing in video.
I strong advice all Imagine Cup competitors to have a look on other country’s competitors work and compare it with your own project then make some adjustment through learning from others. Let’s watch some video!
Yeah, Mousehunt Travel Advisory script hit 100 downloads today on userscript.org. This number is just merely from userscript.org and did not include download from my homepage. Although 100 hits is just small amount for others, but this is a great milestone for me to continue move forward.
It has been almost a month since I write this script from group up. From zero knowledge about user script and very little theoretical knowledge about javascript until the script complete. A way to polish my javascript skill huh? From installing different browsers to test the script for portability, until today I used all 3 browsers for my daily life. Sound a bit crazy huh? Thanks to my friend’s help in finding bug in the script so that I can fix all the bugs in the script. Testing is very important ya! Well, I can said by writing this script, I have learned a lot of thing where I can’t found in class room.
Well, let’s stop talking about my long winded story, I guess no one is interested. Let’s get something to work. Shall I add auto travel function in the script? One click button and the script will help you travel using the cheapest path to destination. I wonder this is violating the term & condition of MouseHunt or not. Another idea is maybe I should just add (not replace!) the feature like travel planner where user can select the departure location and destination they want, because some of the users are actually planing future traveling before they reach that location. So what do you think? Come tell me in the comment!
MouseHunt longtail (version 3.0) is releasing soon, I hope it won’t completely screw up the script. Even it did screw up the script, I’m ready to fix it as soon as possible.

Mousehunt Travel Advisory 1.1 release will fix the bug that cause Firefox browser keep on reload travel page whenever user click on a new location.
MouseHunt Travel Advisory is a user script that build specially for MouseHunt application in Facebook. It is able to calculate the cheapest route from player’s current location to location the player wish to travel to. It work similar to Pooflinger’s Travel Planner, but this script read player location directly from the application and embed the result directly into application instead of opening another tab for travel planner.
Travel advisory script load is whenever player open the travel page in MouseHunt after they installed the script. It will search and get all locations that is accessible by the player. It will then calculate the cheapest route to player’s selected destination base on locations that are accessible by the player. This allow the script to automatic route through Forbidden Grove when it is open (if necessary) and avoid Forbidden Grove when it is close. It will also avoid location that unable travel by the player currently (such as missing map piece). All travel cost are base on MouseHunt Wiki.
Currently the script support Mozilla Firefox with Greasemonkey add-on (Tested with Mozilla Firefox 3.6 with Greasemonkey 0.8 add-on), Opera (Tested with Opera 10.50) and Google Chrome (Tested with Google Chrome 4.1).
For more information and download, visit MouseHunt Travel Advisory website or visit userscripts.org website.
Special thanks to Yew Liang that discover the bug in this script.

After more than 2 weeks of learning user script from ground up and testing the user script, I’m proud to announce the release of MouseHunt Travel Advisory script created by me.
MouseHunt Travel Advisory is a user script that build specially for MouseHunt application in Facebook. It is able to calculate the cheapest route from player’s current location to location the player wish to travel to. It work similar to Pooflinger’s Travel Planner, but this script read player location directly from the application and embed the result directly into application instead of opening another tab for travel planner.
Travel advisory script load is whenever player open the travel page in MouseHunt after they installed the script. It will search and get all locations that is accessible by the player. It will then calculate the cheapest route to player’s selected destination base on locations that are accessible by the player. This allow the script to automatic route through Forbidden Grove when it is open (if necessary) and avoid Forbidden Grove when it is close. It will also avoid location that unable travel by the player currently (such as missing map piece). All travel cost are base on MouseHunt Wiki.
Currently the script support Mozilla Firefox with Greasemonkey add-on (Tested with Mozilla Firefox 3.6 with Greasemonkey 0.8 add-on), Opera (Tested with Opera 10.50) and Google Chrome (Tested with Google Chrome 4.1).
For more information and download, visit MouseHunt Travel Advisory website.
Special thanks to Yew Liang, Matthew Phiong and Koekoe for helping me beta test the script.
Since Opera 10.50 release, I have been using it until today. I’m very happy with it so far. Previously I never use Opera more than 3 days because I don’t found anything…
I had a new blog and this post had moved to https://ooiks.com/blog/uncategorized/fall-in-love-with-opera-10-50
Ever downloaded a user script from website other than userscript.org and figuring how to install it into Firefox? Ever write your own user script and have problem install it into Firefox?
I do have those problem when I first installed Greasemonkey and download some user script to try. The Greasemoneky Installation dialog usually won’t pop up if I download any user script from website other than userscript.org. Every time I drag and drop a user script file into Firefox, the Greasemonkey will definably pop up a install button on top of the page, but the button never work out for me.
After spending some time playing with user script, I finally discover a better way of install a user script into Firefox instead of click on the New User Script menu button and paste all code into the new created script. It is nothing new or special, but the menu button is hidden instead of disable when no user script is open in Firefox. This cause many users include me did not realize the existent of the button at all.
To install a user script after download and save at local disk, just drag and drop the file into Firefox, then go to Tools > Greasemoneky > Install User Script. If you did not found the Install User Script button, this is because you are currently not viewing the tab that contain the user script file open in Firefox.
After click on the Install User Script button, the Greasemonkey Installation dialog will pop up. Click on Install button after the countdown end and the user script will be installed into Firefox.
I’m very curious why the button is hidden instead of disable. It just doesn’t make sense to me. The install button pop up on top of the page every time user drop a user script into Firefox never work, a bug? Anyway, I never know the answer unless I go and ask the developer, which I’m not going to do.
The script is already ready, you can found it at MouseHunt Travel Advisory website or visit userscripts.org website.
After more than a week of spending my free time learning and working on user script (also call Greasemoneky script), I finally come out a prototype of MouseHunt Travel Advisory (a temporary name given to my created script). This script build specially for MouseHunt application in Facebook. It is able to calculate the cheapest route from player’s current location to location the player wish to travel to. It work similar to Pooflinger’s Travel Planner, but this script read player location directly from the application and embed the result directly into application instead of opening another tab for travel planner.
Well, this script may not sound so good for hunter who own a lot of gold, but this script should be good enough for hunter who want to save as much as gold yet lazy to open another tab to look for alternative route when travel.
Currently, I was only able to complete the AJAX part (require the whole web page is fully loaded before player click on any location) and yet to complete the HTML part (doesn’t not require the whole web page loaded before player click on any location). The script also face some performance issue where travel to location required a lot of gold such S. S. Huntington II or Dracano (the script need to loop through a lot of route), but I had found a solution for this. The script should be able to complete in this few days (if I’m hardworking enough).
Now, who said play game is bad for learning. Javascript, routing algorithm, performance measurement and… there are many else we can learn from a game!
