This last week I was able to make some good headway (for the noob I am) on WoWPUGBuilder. I created my first two slash commands and a drop down menu. Creating the slash command was an easy task. I did, however, have some initial difficulites with creating the drop down menu. It ended up not wanting to play nicely with the UI I had designed so far. To fix the problem, I went back to the drawing board and simplified the graphics for the UI quite a bit. I conceded to using the same background and border that I had used with WoWPedometer.

WoWPedometer is finally ready to be released into the wild! You can download your copy at http://5h0cktr00px0rz.org/?q=node/94. Some people have even suggested I make the AddOn available at Curse Gaming. I think they are silly but if I can, I will, just for the giggles. ;)

Today I got back to work on WoWPedometer. With a point in the right direction from J. Whitehead over at WoW Programming I was able to get two thirds of the AddOs functionality working. It's still a little bit buggy, however, with a wierd issue where walking backwards generates it's own, unique, distance and step data and the values resetting with each "stop and go". I cannot, for the life of me, get the third feature, calculating calories burned, to work. To make it even more confusing, when I fixed an obvious typo in the calorie function it broke the other two features!
