viciouz.co.uk

So, my new project, banterous.co.uk, which I’ve been working on for a solid 2 weeks now, is almost ready for release as version 1. It’s more work than I have probably ever put into another single project, maybe with the exception of Cold War City. It’s a PHP/MySQL site for sharing demos from games based on the quake2 engine. When you upload your demo, it gets processed with a few libraries I wrote, although quite a lot of the work was just porting and reversing C code from the game engine into PHP for the web server. The result is a nice page showing some information about the demo along with a download link. The layout/CSS aren’t particularly amazing but do make use of HTML5 and CSS3. The latter in particular is mighty useful and as such IE doesn’t like it and will present you with a lovely blocky site with no rounded corners. Oh well.

You can have a look around at www.banterous.co.uk – try not to break anything

If you’re interested in having a look at the PHP library internals, I’ll probably be releasing them some time under the GPL.
