Hey David,

I want to share with you a new idea for a new tutorial:

Maybe you have seen the new Windows 8 picture logon. To use this function you must choose a picture and drow three diffrent lines on the screen. Next time, when you want to get access to your system you must draw axactly this three lines to unlock your OS. Here a little demonstration:

And here is my idea:

Can you code a login system how as I had already mentioned it?

I wish you continued success with your blog ;)
Cheers,

Lars

The only thing that was dominated when you were playing FIFA 10 was the back of your team’s net.

It’s unfortunate that Microsoft doesn’t supply an official API, but this is a good alternative.

A friend of mine also did the same thing, but additionally provides gamertags as forum signatures: http://experiments.chary.us/gamercard/

That’s pretty awesome and such a simple API too. Wonder if there is anything like this for PSN.

Here’s something to note. The API used in this tutorial illegitimately gains it’s information from scraping Xbox.com. It should be noted that “use [of] any automated process or service (such as a bot, a spider, periodic caching of information stored by Microsoft, or metasearching) to access or use the Service, or to copy or scrape data from the Service” is prohibited by the Xbox Live Terms of Service. Failure to adhere to the Xbox Live TOS can be punishable by having your Xbox Live account suspended or banned from the Xbox Live service.

I don’t work for Microsoft. I’m not saying this *will* happen. I’m just saying that using this API could potentially be seen as a violation of the TOS. People get suspended *all the time* for breaking it.

Also note, that Microsoft does have an Xbox Community Developer Program (XCDP) which you can apply to join. In it, they supply you with a legitimate API to access much of what is offered from this other API.
