Help ripping a web page
 
Hey all!

So yeah, real simple request.

I'd like to have this page available offline if possible.
http://www.mh-z.com/untangle/

Any help or suggestions?

Thanks! :)

I'm afraid you can't, because the processing of the form input happens on the server side. Otherwise you could:

Code:

$ cd /home/user/MyDocs/
$ wget -p -k http://www.mh-z.com/untangle/

then start your favourite browser, tell it to open file:///home/user/MyDocs/www.mh-z.com/untangle/index.html, and bookmark it.

Well that's a real poop. :(

I guess I won't even bother asking if someone would like to be loving and wonderful by creating an app that does such a thing like this page. :)

You like to win the easy way, uh? ;)

www.enigmics.mobi has an android boggle app with Italian and English dictionary (the app name is Paroliamo). Works offline.
Go ask the developer if it's possible to tweak the app allowing an editable board. And go win!

You could try looking for a pure-javascript implementation. Alternatively, would a command-line solution do?

^ This! :D

One of the favorite things I like to play on my Tablet is a game called Word Battle using VNC.

I usually don't cheat, that is, unless I'm in a super grumpy mood or if I'm losing. :)

But yeah, take this round for example:

You score the most points if you are able to connect the gold letters together in the same word.

If I were to have used that site I mentioned previously, it would have found the word "nonfatal" and I then would be crushing everyone with my massive brain and would have felt really good about myself! :)

Anyway, I looked at Paroliamo but it's all in Spanish. I also only have a N800 so I can't run Android on it.

I would love to see some kind of fun app or another site that can provide the same kind of entertainment that web page has to offer. :)

Kind regards.

Ooh!

I forgot to mention one other thing.

Is it possible to pull the 5x5 grid of ASCII letters in this game from some remote location on my computer so I could simply copy and paste that into the web page instead of having to type it all out?

The game can be found at king.com (registration is free and I've never received any emails from them)

Maybe perhaps using Cheat Engine or some other type of nerdish trick.

That definitely would rock because it takes like 12 seconds for me to type it all out and I think a few people are catching on to me. *lol*

Cheers! :)

Is anyone here good at understanding or decontructing a web flash game?

I'm just wondering where I could search for the 5x5 grid of ASCII letters to this word game, if they even exists.

I'm using Firefox on Windows XP, so would it be somwhere within the virtual memory of that app?

Perhaps maybe a plug-in or something I could install or any other possible solution one of you boys could help me with this?
