A new site

Postby Ikerous » Tue Jun 12, 2007 9:39 pm

http://www.blackninjagames.com/dillo/in ... page=index

A site giving updates about each of the different competitions and a description of how each one is going. It also has screenshots of the levels as they're posted and screenshots of the solutions. It's all being archived and once the archive page is up you'll be able to browse old competitions via screenshots previews. These will link to a page describing the level with an available download link. The submit page is fully working and allows you to submit your solution to any of the four leagues all on one page without needing to know any email addresses.

Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated. Remember I just made this last night and it's still new

Wow! This is indeed a great resource!

But what if you lack time and can't update the site frequently enough? You might need a helper that's active on forum too, like NickyNick or... don't know... just a suggestion :)

I like the every single doddle that is on the first page, likt this one:
Update: Nicky says he'll have a new level up tomorrow.


This page is going straight into my bookmarks, it should be put somewhere, where every forum user can see it and check it out.

EDIT: The contest winners archive may also be there, it's hard to find it here in the forums. Just a suggestion too.

:D I'm glad you guys like it

If theres anything else that you think would be really useful to have just suggest it. Right now i'm working on the archive page and then i'm gunna try and make it so you can vote on levels.

This site is being hosted by GMan and he's helping me archive sites but he's not on a lot. If anyone is interested in helping I'll ask GMan if it's alright to give out the account info and if he says is alright then i can explain the basics to updating the pages. It's all pretty simple. Although this is the first time i've ever made anything in php so it's not 100% automated unfortunately

Ikerous did all the work, I just came up with the idea. I'm contemplating some sort of admin method now, so things get updated faster.

This is awesome - it would be great if it automatically updated the stuff once the competitions were posted!

Or, perhaps we could host the competitions using that site (just upload the files and the description etc...) it would make hosting much easier for newcomers. Also then we wouldn't have to rely on manual updates of who won because you the contest host could also enter the winners directly in to there as well.


Just some food for thought.
