Release: PSPMoney v.2.3

[uPSP_08]

Hi everybody!

Today, I release version 2.3 of my homebrew "PSPMoney".
PSPMoney is a homebrew for the PSP which calculates monetary amounts from one currency into another.
Available currencies:

• US-Dollar
• British Pound
• Iraqi Dinar
• Euro
• Japanese Yen
• gold value (oz)
• German Mark (historical)

PSPMoney is available in two languages: English and German.
Changelog of v.2.3:

• now running under the Phoenix Game Engine (PGE)
• new intro screen
• updating the exchange rates works now without the browser
• bugs fixed

download: here.
I am delighted with praise and criticism.

Good, but the monetary amounts from one currency into another change continually... so is there any possibility to "upgrade" the currency connecting the PSP online?

[nickxab]

Hey i download it and it is very nice.
Thanks man.

[uPSP_08]

@Gefa: That´s right, the exchange rates change all the time. Therefore I´ve included a function which updates the exchange rates.

greez ;)

[Mr_Shizzy]

This is very handy :)

Thanks for sharing it man

[sonamta]

Thanks man, might come in handy.

[elite999]

Currency always changes. I suggest you place a link in your app to activate WIFI, and update the files needed for converting.

[uPSP_08]

Yes, the possibility to update the exchange rates already exists.
Therefore, the psp connects to the Internet and the exchange rates will be downloaded.

mfg ;)

[elite999]

That sounds good. I just meant to update them frequently. Good job. :)

[dan369]

Plans on adding more currencies?

[uPSP_08]

If there are any important currencies that I should add, I would add them.
Any suggestions?

[elite999]

L.L. Lebanese pounds :P. Silver ounces.

[FaT3oYCG]

erm if you dont have any of these i suggest addin them, these are the main ones i use

$ USD, $ AUD, £ GBP, YEN etc.

[uPSP_08]

Okay, Australian Dollar and Silver ounces will be added in the next version.
Does anyone have an idea where exchange rates can be downloaded?
At the moment I have to get the exchange rates manually (with oanda´s fxconverter), then copy them into a new file and upload them on my webspace. That´s very circumstantially and therefore I am looking for a better way.
Does anybody have an idea?

I don't know if it is going to help you. But I found this and this.

[nickxab]

Hmmm...i have a similar app in my iphone.
Maybe this will help you.
If you want it then tell it to me. ;)

[uPSP_08]

@elite999: Thanks for your links, but those scripts are for shopping cart software and I wouldn´t know how to include them.
@nickxab: Do you know where your app gets the exchange rates from?

[nickxab]

@elite999: Thanks for your links, but those scripts are for shopping cart software and I wouldn´t know how to include them.
@nickxab: Do you know where your app gets the exchange rates from?

I don't remember but i will search and i will inform you.

Ok i found it.
It update the currencies from here:http://www.gocurrency.com/

elite999 edit :

If you looked at the second link, you would see that one can easily parse currencies from http://www.ecb.int/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml

[uPSP_08]

@nickxab: Thanks, I´ll look at that.
@Nielkie: I´ve already looked at that, but I don´t know, how I should include the exchange rates from this file into my lua-script.

greez ;)

[nickxab]

I hope that this link will help you

[Gefa]

@nickxab: Thanks, I´ll look at that.
@Nielkie: I´ve already looked at that, but I don´t know, how I should include the exchange rates from this file into my lua-script.

It's very simple... You must simply parse its html code. For example, if you want to convert 100 euro in dollars, you have to connect your PSP at the address:
Euro to US Dollar, US Dollar to Euro

See the link. The var "inV" is the amount you wanna convert ( in this case is setted to 100, cause I wanna convert 100 euros), while the vars "from" and "to" indicate the two currencies (in this case are EUR and USD) ;)

Then, in the page's html source code you should search for the "<b>100 Euro(s)" string... straight after, you'll find the conversion (<b>100 Euro(s) = 143.369 US Dollar(s)</b>) ;)

Sorry for my very very bad english :Argh:
