DATA-MASHERS AT THE READY: MAXIS OPENS THE SPORE API
Fantastic news over at Maxis, where they’ve just opened the Spore API to let developers create their own Flash / php / Python / Processing / Mathematica / anything apps utilizing their database of creature creations:
Here at Maxis, we’re working on some features to help the community create their own Spore applications. We’re collecting these features into a web-based Spore API. Using simple web services, you can access our huge database of creations and creators. Check out the gallery to see apps made with the Spore API. The documentation section has reference sheets and samples to get you started.
Currently on display: a creature aquarium, friend activity monitor, Google gadget and Kittenwar-esque Creature Battle for cute supremacy. They’ve also just opened the first API contest to win Nvidia cards and copies of the game and its forthcoming Galactic Adventures expansion.
Keep us abreast of what you build!
