Is there a script repository somewhere?

Hi all,

I just picked up three HD2000's for use in our arcade to do various tasks (menu, high score board, etc.), so I'm wondering if there's an archive of example scripts anywhere online that I could just browse and experiment with? (I tend to learn new 'languages' best by hacking up known working examples until I'm proficient enough to start my own project from scratch...)

I've found examples here and there in the docs and in these forums, but some complete sample 'applications' would be handy.

Thanks!

    I don't have a script respository, but the object reference guide has example scripts. I can post some sample scripts as well. Are you looking for any specific examples?

    We're an arcade, so one of the apps we want to have is a remote 'high score' list that our staff can update easily.  



    Right now the thought is that we just have a windows app that collects the data (like a form that they select the name of the game and then enter the "score" and "player name") and the data gets stashed in to a SQL database.  Then a secondary task on the PC runs every once in a while and generates a formatted text file of the data which gets pushed (pulled?) to the HD2000.  (We have ~100 games, so the list would probably not be much larger than that.)



    My thought was to use the automatic 'URL update' (or whatever it's called-- I assume I need the "simple windows networking" app for that?) to push the datafile to the HD2000 and then every once in a while the script pulls the text fields from the file and displays them in a table-like display.



    So.... I guess I'm interested in how to go about pushing a file to a networked HD2000 easily and then any string manipulation/TextWidget examples that might be floating around.



    Thanks!
