How many people have heard of the Google API? I''ve posted a question about it in the General Programming forum, and it seems no one really knows anything about it or has heard about it. I am pretty much on my way of learning how everything about it works, and I would like to write a tutorial for others to learn how to use it. The focus of my tutorial would be using it in a C++ environment, and what steps you have to take. Apparently, there are a lot of steps. The Google API has many uses such as searching Google from within a program/game automatically, or it can even return spelling suggestions for words. Would anyone like to see a tutorial on the Google API? ======================================== Cybro :: The Ultimate Online Game Show. Ever.

I''ve never heard of it before, but I looked it up after reading your other post. It looks interseting.

It''s a nice idea, though it''s not very game-specific. If/when you write the article, perhaps you could try and examine some ways it might be used in a game context - in-game encyclopaedia, maybe, or to ''flesh out'' a virtual internet with fake search results?
