myMiniCity Plugin (looking for feedback)

    I spent a little while looking for a plugin that would post statistics and useful links from MyMiniCity.com (a simple little click and watch it grow “simcity type” applications) onto the sidebar of my website. I didn’t find anything that did what I was looking for, so I thought this would be a good chance for me to finally try to write a WordPress plugin.

    It seems to be working fine, but I’m sure the code isn’t going to win any beauty contests. If you’ve messed around with MyMiniCity.com before and want to check out the plugin I’d be interested in what you think, and if you’ve written a plugin before, I’d be interested in knowing what I could do better (not that anyone has time to look over someone else’s code).

    You can get the plugin here.

    I added a few features to the plugin yesterday. You can now configure if and when the “(add one)” population link will appear based on the other statistics of your city. So you can configure it to not show the link if your unemployment is over, lets say, 5%.

    There is also a setting to display all of the statistics so that 100% is the best. That is to say, it will show Employment instead of Unemployment and so forth.

    Doesn’t look like there’s much interest in this, but I’ve updated the plugin to allow you to display your city directly (without counting against your one ip/day).

    The plugin was using the CURL library, but someone didn’t have it installed, so now it does the job without the library.

    You can now configure the plugin so that it only shows links to your industry, roads, pollution and so forth if they fall below a certain level.
