Inspired by the Latest XKCD Comic Geeklet by Matt, I set out to create a version for Penny Arcade. Like the XKCD Geeklet, it requires two files which function the same way but are named differently:
The penny-arcade.glet geeklet (XKCD's alt.glet equivalent) downloads the image w/ the file name "latest-pennyarcade.jpg". You can change this name and location if you want by editing the last line of the command. This also displays the title of the comic.
The penny-arcade_display.glet geeklet (XKCD's xkcd.glet equivalent) displays the comic. You don't need to change anything w/ this unless you change the file location in the penny-arcade.glet
Like the XKCD version you will need to have both of the geeklet files running. If you want to hide the title, either delete the line echo $alt from the command, or just set the text opacity to 0%.
Also, I didn't want the image loading every second or anything like that, so the refresh time might be higher than you would like it to be. Just adjust this for both geeklets as you see fit. I would recommend setting the refresh time for the penny-arcade.glet higher to prevent you from downloading the same image as frequently, but would set the penny-arcade_display.glet to have a more frequent refresh timer to prevent you from having a time period when the title doesn't match up w/ the comic properly. Anyway, here is an image from my desktop. I've also adjusted the text display a bit, but that should be easy enough to do.
Thanks Matt for the XKCD comic geeklet! Hopefully someone finds this one useful as well.
