[...] wrote a little iPhone game based on some of the same principles that I used in the TUIO system I blogged about earlier. In this system, users go to a URL to download a controller, which they then use to control [...]

thanks for doing this.
tried it and got it working, but have a delay of about 30sec. is there a way to get this faster?
do you know where the delay is coming from?

And a tip, add this:

Then save the page to your homescreen, open new icon, whoola, no navigationbar or urlbar….

Hello
Im guessing this is more a POC (Proof Of Concept) but it is too slow too be able to use. I tried OSCemote and it’s respsonses at once. But I know your server not works in the same way… Are you going to release a faster version?

By default most modern browsers will try to grab a favicon when they first visit a site. If they don’t find one they usually just skip that step without complaining. So on the server side you’re just seeing a message since there is no /favicon.ico file. Things should still work on the browser side.

Now when I say “should work on the browser side” I mean “you should see a grid in your browser”. Because the Javascript in this system uses some events that are only available on the iPhone, you won’t actually be able to do anything with it from Firefox or Safari running on your desktop. You’ll actually need an iPhone (or an iPhone simulator) to use it.

In order to use this system with a browser other than Safari running on the iPhone there would need to be event listeners for mouse events. Maybe at some point I will add those in, but I haven’t done that yet.

Hi Andy,

I’m attempting at setting up the server side right now and running into a snag.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\tuiotouch>c:\Python26\python.exe server-tuiosh.py 80
80 127.0.0.1 3333 400 200
Running server at (192.168.0.115:8080)
ROMAN - - [23/Apr/2009 12:44:53] code 404, message File Not Found: /favicon.ico
ROMAN - - [23/Apr/2009 12:44:56] code 404, message File Not Found: /favicon.ico

As you see Im getting an error, it’s looking for the icon as I understand but there isn’t one. (Or is this iPhone client side?)

I’m running the server on a XP machine with Python 2.6. Any ideas?

Tried this loading the interface with Firefox 3.0.9 and Safari buid 528.16

Michael, you’re right. I realize that I’m using a library that is only available in Python 2.6. You might be able to use this library, but I haven’t tried it. Sorry about the trouble there.
