Dayo Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have finaly started to learn node.js properly, i wanted a project to work on in my spare time. I learnt alot of PHP/SQl while developing mods for McCodes/working on my own game. So i thought it would be a good way to learn the ins and outs of node. But as i usualy always start things liek this off get to about 60% completeion and never finish them i was thinking of doing it as a sort of community project, we all moan at how bad mccodes is yet we all still work on it and make modules for it. Rather then make a mods for mccodes would it not be better time spent re-writing that whole module. Things like realtime chat could be implemented from the very start without the need of 3rd party pluguins or constant ajax polling. There is also the fact that this would create a whole new market for mods and stops people spending any money on mccodes (makes me crindge that people pay for such sub-standard code) sorry for the punny thread title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniko Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The excessive amount of question marks in the title is weird and distracting. Cool idea. I'll support where I can :D (Plus, I love the name, please keep it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coly010 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Why not just write a new engine? From the ground up, using node.js . Maybe keep the same play style as McCodes but actually have some logical structure to the code, make it neater, better folder structure etc? I think that would be easier than going through that heap of crap and trying to nodify it. Also, is there any tutorials on Node.js for Windows? I installed it on my laptop but I can't seem to run any of the examples I'm finding. Don't know if I'm being stupid or if its just difficult to get initially set up. Hence why its taking me time to learn it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayo Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Everything will be re-written i wont go file by file and copy the logic, but instead ill go module by module and implement them in node. I cant remember the one i used but from what i remember it was just an installer you needed to run, but 95% of the time i use Linux so cant really remember.
