Apologies if this isn’t a fit for StackOverflow, but I’m interested in creating a Facebook ‘game’ which simply generates an image and let’s users share it. See my picture below as an example.
How is this done? All the resources I find are related to Unity, surely this is overkill for something so simple? I’d like to use C# ideally but willing to try anything else.

TL;DR: look for bold text to see the questions without context.
When something bad (or good, but this is a cruel world) happens, FB has a feature to change your profile picture - when USA legalized gay marriage you could have had a rainbow flag over your pic, when SW7 came out, you could have added a lightsaber, etc.
I wanted to do something similiar for a social campaign and started writing an app for that. I figured it should be possible, as in case of Star Wars it seemed to be managed by private company (Disney), not FB itself.
My plan was to:
download current user profile pic (done, though I cannot get good quality; anyway, gonna fix that later)
in-memory add the banner (done)
upload that photo with banner added (done)
redirect user to photo from (3) with makeprofile=1 as proposed here, to make it users profile picture
profit
Unfortunately, the answer quoted in (4) doesn't seem to be working anymore.
My question is: is this still possible? If yes - how?
If not - do I have any alternatives?
I've also tried figuring out how is the link "Make Profile Picture" in webview composed. It looks like:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=<<picture id>&set=a.<<similiar, but not the same as picture id>>.<<not a clue>>.<<seems to be profile id>>&type=3&makeprofile=1&profile_id=<<profile id, duh>>&pp_source=photo_view
If anyone knows what following parts mean, my issue would probably be solved:
<<similiar, but not the same as picture id>>
<<not a clue>>
<<seems to be profile id>>
I also tried figuring out ProfilePictureSource, but the abstraction itself isn't described anywhere (or I couldn't find it) and judging by permissions needed, that doesn't seem like what I need (why would I need any pages, groups, mailbox or business permissions when I only want to update a profile pic?). If that is the way and I just lost it, please tell me how to use it.
Another way to answer this question would be to propose alternative way of having the banner over profile picture.
For the record, I'm using Python with facebook-sdk wrapper, but only for fast prototyping - I could as well use Java with Spring Social, DLang with manual HTTP calls, whatever - technology isn't an issue, I need a general way here.
I am trying to read a specific text on a website, and I was wondering how I would proceed doing so. I am trying to get the followers-count on the instagram website, to then retrieve it in my app and display it. How would I proceed with this?
I have searched both Google and GitHub for parser, with no luck - and there is no tutorial on YouTube explaining how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Usually for something like this, you'll want to use the official API.
Isolating and reading an element in web page is likely not what you want to do. An API gives you access to parts of a service an application might need to interact with, just like this.
Please have a look on fiverr.com's page. they have sign in/register buttons that pop up and darkens the page behind it.
Any suggestions for this functionality on Wordpress? I'd be happy to pay for a good plug in!
Just as a reference - I do not use WordPress, but I am almost certain this functionality is in it somewhere. To answer at the heart of your question though using other means...
You can absolutely do this using CSS/jQuery/PHP. Here is a link to get you started on a tutorial. There is also a number of other tutorials for this with simple google searches.

As for darkening the background, you should be able to do that using CSS/jQuery for the on-click/open events.
For a specific wordpress solution, I believe this might be what you are looking for but to be frank, I have very little experience with WP so can't confirm it is correct.

Best of luck!
I am interested specifically in this functionality: I want to fetch all comments from a Worpress-based blog. I had a look at the Wordpress iOS application, but it looks too complex for me. Can some one please give me some hints in what would be the steps to achieve that. (I assume first I need to log-in somehow, and after that call a method using XML-RPC)
If possible, please don't suggest me the Wordpress iOS application, as it is a bit too complex for me.
Thank you.
I'm working on a few sites for professional photographers who want to be able to update on their own. I'm looking for a simple CMS solution that has very basic functionality as a gallery and is easy for them to work with. My main concern is with ordering images--I'd like for them to be able to drag their thumbnails around and lock the order. I suspect there is an existing solution out there and am looking for recommendations. I've seen something like this driven by Flash for Flash sites, but I don't know the name of it. I'm looking for something that is similar, but not Flash.
Photogallery tikiti is nice http://www.rocky.nu/photogallery/
I used wordpress and the dm_albums plugin for this site http://www.arkphotography.co.uk
I found dm_albums easy to use, and so did the photographer who had little experience of using wordpress and none of using dm_albums.
