Generate an image from motorstorm pacific rift user stats of vip.motorstorm.com, that can be used as a sig.

Main purpose is to familiarize myself with various boost libs (asio, xpressive, ...)

Problems

• Get the links for the data (they seem to be generated)
• Get used to the boost libs
• How to generate images? Magick++ lib? Boost gil can read and write png or jpeg, but cannot render text :-(
• Design of the sig

Program flow

• evaluate parameters like username and imagefile (with boost program_options)
• read basic stats page for the user from vip.motorstorm.com (with boost asio)
• extract rank and links to the tracks (with boost xpressive)
• read stats for all tracks (with boost asio)
• extract times from track stats (use boost xpressive and boost date_time)
• build image (use Magick++)

Open topics

• basic autoconf
• get started
