Hello 👋 How many of you would be interested in a small "hackathon" whereby you are tasked to create a web game (not specific to GRPG, McCodes). It can have single player or multiplayer aspect. Some game ideas, that are probably foreign to these boards since we like text-based games, are; - snake (single player) - geoguesser clone (single player with multiplayer hiscores) - connect 4 (multiplayer) I am thinking of maybe putting up $1,000 worth of prizes (if enough submissions come in, so this post is more of a temperature check and not starting the hackathon)

I am tinkering with the idea of a new big project idea. Perhaps I can bring you in.

I might be interested. Can I get a code sample - perhaps one controller and one model file?

Sure, I was just bashing on SRB - the code quality of McCodes (especially the free version) is not great. Learning PHP I'd recommend you start learning PHP first then use that knowledge to start developing a game. Once you have PHP installed on your machine, run `php -S localhost:8080` and then you can have your own local server running - no real need for applications such as XAMPP. Or, use an online sandbox, such as https://replit.com/ to run PHP code in the cloud (example: https://replit.com/@409H/example-php) Get used to variables, functions, classes, dependencies. It'll be a better foundation for you over learning off scripts created years ago with near-zero standards (and breaking modern standards). A very popular PHP framework is Laravel. You can learn it for free on Laracasts. Learning Deployment (not server management) There have been recommendations within this topic on how to deploy your code to production. Some of those recommendations are somewhat archaic (though they do work and get you the end result). I'd suggest learning git (version control) and deploying through a CICD pipeline to a service such as Heroku. You don't want to add another learning branch to your todo list - such as server maintenance and peripheral package management.

Did SRB sell their account or has ColdBlooded got a gun to their head? Never thought I'd see SRB advise McCodesFree, especially in 2023

Ye sure, convert whatever I've previously published to GL

Ah, good times :D

I'll match Djkanna's offer also. (up until January 30, 2023)

CB and Dabs will here of this illegal activity!!!1

Your Laravel-based code won't translate into a mccodes game. Nice code though.

I am also alive unfortunately

I don't understand - are you looking for someone to make responsive Wordpress themes for free, under your service name?

Light Red = code removed Dark Red = code replaced Light Green = code added Dark Green = code replaced with If you are not familiar with the command-line and git, I would highly recommend you take a day or so to learn: https://git-scm.com/ https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone (download code) https://git-scm.com/docs/git-add (add code to current working branch) https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit (commit code to current working branch) https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push (push committed code on current working branch to a remote repository) (there's a lot more including merging, rebasing, cherrypicking, tagging, branching) There's a lot of different branching models but this is a good starter read: https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

I'm not going to encourage running unaudited code written prior to April 2014, released by unofficial sources, to run on a production server in 2021, without testing 😅

Thanks for posting these backups @ags_cs4 @PHPStudent I do not have these anymore and I do not offer support to them anymore As they are coming from an "unofficial" source, please read the code and test them in a development environment as I cannot vouch for the integrity of these files.

sir, this is not a fantasy board, please stick to topics found in our reality

If you're getting a whitescreen, it typically means the server is not responding with only headers and no body. This is likely a server-side issue. Is there anything in the web server error log? Have you debugged this with turning on verbose error logging with E_ALL? https://stackify.com/display-php-errors/ Is your server storage full and unable to write session files? Is this an error state of an unrecognised user/pass combination - if so, account for non-happy paths to show appropriate user-friendly error messages

Let's not put user passwords in query string (even if hashed). Create a unique token for the reset password with an appropriate timeout - you want this process to have an expiry so you don't get a replay attack for an account takeover. The issue is leaking password hashes (I hope U_password is a hash and not the raw string) in user browser history (and the request itself). Not a huge attack vector with these games, but let's do best practices. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.uniqid.php

This you?

Before you hire someone, get someone to (respected, that you trust) to vouch for them - or at least ask for some reviews about the person on the forum. Anyone can self-report that they are reliable and competent.

Gross! Use VSCode

I have some cleaning to do, but otherwise it does the job!
