RadarLove News
Just wanted to give a quick update, sorry it’s been so quiet. I’ve been working on RadarLove a bit (and Email Scheduler, more on that later) and have added some pretty cool things, and am working to include a few more.
Here are things currently done, or close to it:
Added a warning overlay (shows current warnings in the radar area)
Added a “Find Radar Site” piece to the settings. You can now type in your city, state or zip code and it will select the radar for you. (85% done)
Improved the drawing of the images drastically! Radar now supports full transparency, no more white-outs. Images are cleaner, crisp, and I also improved loop drawing times, ie the loop will run faster.
Added a setting to change the Status Text Color — 6 choices, no more hard to read blue (unless you want it).
More Code improvements
Planned additions, not yet implemented (percent done):
GPS integration. Program will pick the radar site based on your gps data. (35% done)
GPS Location icon. Will put an icon on the spot of your GPS location, or the location of the city, state you put in. (25% done)
Visual Sat. overlay. Overlay to show current cloud conditions. (0% done)
Local Forecasts. (0% done)
I hope to get this out within the next week or 2. I will post some screenshots early next week of the new design. We have had over 8,000 downloads of this thing, but only a handful of donations. Come on people, give me some incentives!
Thanks
Gudy
