phpQuote – Public Beta
Time: 3 hours
Total: 45 hours
————————–
I finally finished a display type page for phpQuote. This news is a few days old, but still relevant for blog purposes. You can search by author, category, or a pick at random. It is still rather primitive in the respect it doesn’t display all information that is input when the quote is created, but I will be making a display page that, based on the selected quote, will display all information (date, category, id number, any additional information (listed as “context”)).
The engine can be found at http://www.nick-cash.com/quote. It is worth noting that five pages of ALPHA quotes are waiting to be put in.
In other news, Spring Break is finally drawing near! I have some heavy plans for it. The current Code Challenge on MudMagic is to create a string library. This is something I plan on entering, though I must say I’m not exactly looking forward to using C-style strings again. These many months of programming in C++ have taught me that I absolutely love the STL string class. We shall see how it turns out.
In addition to the string library, I plan to work on Kaladea a bunch. I will finish the current implementation of rooms and room editing, then follow up by making Avatar’s a derived class from Characters, or some form of that. Currently I need to rearrage the base a bit so that NPCs can execute commands, which is currently impossible. After such a thing is done, I will work on integrating Ksilyan’s string library into Kaladea.
