MCCodes v2 Open Source

[Dave]

Howdy community! Myself and the MCCodes team have decided to release MCCodes v2 as Open Source, to allow more people to create and experiment with making new games.

You can download it from GitHub available here: https://github.com/davemacaulay/mccodesv2

It's available under the MIT license, no support will be provided, but we will review issues and pull requests over time.

Excited to see all the new projects and games which get created!

What's the point of luck without pushing it?

So, that unreleased V3 ... any plans to ever complete? If not, open source, to perhaps give something new to look at; pique some interest of older folks, way past looking at V2 code - not sure what status that ever reached.

Not a bad idea, v3 was pretty unfinished the many many moons ago I saw it.

@ColdBlooded thoughts?

I think I still have the Alpha versions of the V3 and the V3.1 i'll check

@Dave I just looked at the GitHub and the readme links to makewebgames.com, rather than the .io.

i am assuming this incompatible with PHP 7.x / 8.x ?

[corruptcity || skalman]

yeah that is correct, it needs some work to make it compatible and to work with php 7 or 8

[ags_cs4]

Looks like the first step for the contributors is the code upgrade to PHP 8.x.x

Done. PR sent. PR set as draft while I run tests. PR re-sent!

[corruptcity || skalman]

Ah good man @Magictallguy. I was going to look at doing it during my weekend off this week.

Did you add a PDO to it aswell?

Once the PR is tested and looks good I'll be happy to merge. Feel free to ping me on Discord for a quicker merge.

Did you just run it through https://github.com/rectorphp/rector? and do some tidy up too?

As much as I would like to, I wasn't sure on just how far away from MCCv2's "origins" we wanted to pull it. So this PR is primarily PHP8-compliance (and a minor optimisation to the viewuser->staff->gethostbyaddr calls)

Huh, second time I've heard that project today - and nope, but I'm curious to see what that would chuck back.

Little bits, here and there. There's much more I'd like to do, but again, I don't want to pull it too far away from what it was (without community approval, at least)

Edit: On a related note, I did write up a docker-compose.yml - runs OOTB with `docker compose up` (with optional -d flag to detach) - if we want to be able to dockerize it (great for dev *cough cough*)

[corruptcity || skalman]

Ah yeah that makes sense, I'll be adding PDO to my game myself soon. But first I'm learning something I prob should have learnt years ago but couldn't wrap my head around it at the time and gave up, oop. With a little help from chatgpt, copilot and youtube was able to do a gym and bank and currently working on crimes.

That's neat! Commit it too

[Magictallguy]

This was fun. More, please! 😄

Ooh! Here's a potentially-horrifying idea. Lets go through and update all MCCv2 mods to be PHP8-compliant and release them under one mass repo (with author's permission if not considered abandonware, of course) >:D

Ooooh! Can we do a module installer? plzplzplz

Lol that and a theme/template manager is what is mostly needed on MCC, lets not talk about namespace and composer packages and much more is needed to get it up to modern day standards.

[Magictallguy]

So, thought I'd start the ball rolling on releasing up-to-date mods for MCCv2-PHP8-Community (or whatever Dave's calling it) - here's a staff roles overhaul, loosely based on Discord's Roles, and on a feature branch. Want it? (I may or may not be hinting at the possibility of an MVC-ish release too)
For anyone else here, feel free to use/upgrade these concepts 🙂

Edit: Just finished overhauling the crons. Now with optional "use timestamps instead" alternative to crons, the ability to force-run a cron, and status logging

[Magictallguy]

So yeah, about having a place to send all these. The open-sourcing has renewed the soft spot for MCC
