  1. I use Dreamweaver but I only use it cause I've gotten so used to how it highlights code, but it's definitely a helpful program with the auto complete feature making typing functions in PHP and other languages a breeze. I must say though just because I like the syntax highlighting the program is still using allot of resources to display all the other functions I don't use but overall I think it helps me out allot.
  2. My company's illustrator maybe able to do something for you! He created the mascots on InfantryX you can see two examples of his work at http://makewebgames.io/board759/33617-mascots-40-100/ to!
  3. It's a bit harder then just a code? You have to basically re-write the entire donation system to allow multiple donation packages to be purchased at once. When my computer is back online I'll be finishing the new Ajax version of my Cart Donation system if you would be interested?
  4. Your site is extremely slow... and can you not afford a $9 .com? Your site would look allot more professional.
  5. If I have any free time soon I will code this layout up for the community.
  6. We decided to open a pre-register due to being able to get the site a name, and players before the site is fully released. Understandable if you're looking for a full game and stumble across ours you might get slightly disappointed. But it is a marketing technique used by quite a few larger games.
  7. Thanks for the small review on the site! and the Developer notes area was only created yesterday so we are yet to perfect all the pages, But we will be supplying more information on these pages as soon as we can.
  8. Currently there is no set release date but we plan to have the large parts off the game finished by Christmas.
  9. We have just released our Development blog where you can see sneak peaks into the creation off the game, There are currently only a few posts but you can see a preview off the game items and one off our logo designs for InfantryX, the free military game. http://blog.infantryx.com/
  10. It reminded me off one off my designs to! It does look very similar with the greys and the city but good work with the images and stuff :)
  11. As you've said "old" php would make the game not live.. and would require the user to refresh allot to play the game properly. I think what you want is Ajax which would make the game live between the game players.
  12. How much you paying? Would you prefer the system to use a flash base? Or an Ajax base?
  13. Well you need to use fonts related to the template your making, So for instance if you making a Army Grunge template and you then go and wack some Web 2.0 fancy looking font on it.. It's gonna look bad? You're gonna want something kinda grungeyy and army style. Just think how the title on the template should look! Imagine the font in your head :) Then go hunting!
  14. Typography is something you need to learn well! Or you're going to have amazing layouts with bad text placements and dodgy looking logo's!
  15. That's what they all say.. I'd remove your post before you get majorly flamed on. Everyone knows your motive and why you wan't the code. Edit: DAMN YOU DAYO D:
  16. Your echo'ing the text inside a function? Surely return would be a better option then echo the whole function out? Or you could return the data as an array then "foreach" it where you wan't it to show?
  17. I was expecting allot off flaming on here tbh :/ and DreamCoder you will improve slowly! Check out YouTube and watch some tutorials you'll pick up new things you can do using photoshop :)
  18. Your using the same theme as we used on http://finalcrusader.com/ but the facebook version.
  19. How could you actually sell that? It's awful :|
  20. But surely it's more than one aspect? Your code can be enhanced by doing even the smallest things, people will say to you "Why use single quotes over double quotes, the speed difference is worthless", but the fact of the matter is; there is still a difference there, is it contributing? Yes. Images are always a major think with websites, the HTTP requests. And you can obviously lower them with the CSS sprite method - I suggest you learn this, it's handy. Compressing big files, that's always a good call to make. But yeah, it's just about how quickly you can deliver the information to a page for the users, let the background stuff go along whilst you focus on pleasing the users.... Btw Dave, that wasn't all aimed at you, I just used what you said to start me off xD Some very good points! I wasn't stating there were other area's that would need to be view.. But I've always seen it as how quickly the code executes to be the biggest issue when it comes to page loading speeds!
  21. Nowadays Image size is really only a factor on the users first page load, Considering they all get cached in the users browser but they still do play a big part when getting pulled out from the cache I imagine, I'm no expert on how a browsers cache works. If your after the first load and every other page load being quick and consistent you should check out your CSS,HTML,Js and PHP files.. Because for instance JS generally get's "run" before the page loads unless you script it not to.. Which with large amounts off code would cause the site to take an extra few seconds to load up. The same with PHP files, All the code is processed on the server before being given to the user which could take time. In my eyes optimization is all about the efficiency off the code!
  22. :) Seems to be pushing up our pre-registration count quite nicely, Seems to all work as well. If anyone finds a bug on the site when trying to pre-register or like the page please do message me!
  23. Thanks for the input, We tried to make the template as detailed as possible and those gave it an extra effect :) Updates: We've added Facebook support on the Pre-registration page. This allows users to pre-register with the simple click off the Facebook button it also has a Facebook like button directly linked into the Facebook Application!
  24. I'm not gaining money, The illustrator who is working with me on InfantryX offered that I could re-sell his work at a price and a % off the final price goes into the IX fund. I am not making any money from this.
