JSON won't be your best bet but you can just serialise an array of values and store it in the database, thats probably your best bet

Well rails has great JSON implementation so any AJAX would be relatively straight forward (in theory), however for development sake the first stage would be to create a solid platform.. Currently i'm working on creating some sort of system to increment vitals using a before filter. I used to develop MCCodes and the cronjob system was a joke

The past few days i;ve been working on a prototype system and have made some sweet progress. On the subject of mobile devises, a responsive design would be required & its never beyond the realms of possibilites.

I've been looking into developing a simple game, are there many rails developers on here? As soon as the new TLDs start getting rolled out i may have a game to show. For now I have a simple game platform which i will be slowly implementing more features. Is there any demand for text based games any more? I used to play torncity and there seems like theres a lot of people playing the game.   Would it be a good idea to develop a new game? Would you play it?

Hi, joined up yesterday and decided to create a nice and simple interface for the user profile and share it with you guys. May hopefully have more content coming in the future, see how it goes i guess. Here are some images: Screenshot (default layout so others may vary): [ATTACH=CONFIG]774[/ATTACH] Default profile image: [ATTACH=CONFIG]775[/ATTACH] Here is the code, it should work without any modification however this it without any mods so any mods would need to be added: <?php include_once('globals.php'); // simple array of the user levels, would be better in globals.php or something $levels = array( 0 => 'NPC', 1 => 'Player', 2 => 'Admin', 3 => 'Secretary', 4 => 'Assistant' ); // create a username function to format the username correctly // parse the id, name & user_level // using each of the classes in css each name can be formatted acordingly function username($id, $name, $user_level,$nolink = false) { global $levels; return ($nolink == true) ? '<a href="viewuser.php?u='.$id.'" class="'.$levels[$user_level].'">'.$name.' ['.$id.']</a>' : '<span class="'.$levels[$user_level].'">'.$name.' ['.$id.']</span>'; } // says how long ago a timestamp was // just parse the value in and it returns a string function timeago($time) { $periods = array("second", "minute", "hour", "day", "week", "month", "year", "decade"); $lengths = array("60","60","24","7","4.35","12","10"); $now = time(); $difference = $now - $time; $tense = "ago"; for($j = 0; $difference >= $lengths[$j] && $j < count($lengths)-1; $j++) { $difference /= $lengths[$j]; } $difference = round($difference); if($difference != 1) { return 'Just now'; } return $difference .'
