So now that I have a little bit of ColdFusion under my belt and some time on my hands coming up, I've decided to get the ball rolling on making a DrumMania score tracker ala VJArmy, ScoreHero, DDRRecall, etc.
Yes I know this is a bad idea and no one will use it. DM is way more niche than Pop'n or Beet thanks to shitty CS controllers / games. At worst I'll get some more development experience under my belt and I can actually get a real job (again) and make fat baller cash (again) to spend on more DrumMania cabinets. More than likely this will leave a burning hole in my wallet monthly but whatever at least it's not something retarded like WoW.
Here's a quick database schema I wrote:
Code: Select all
Songs
---------
SongID
Name
Notecount
Mixes
---------
MixID
Name
SongsInMixes
---------
SongInMixID
f_MixID
f_SongID
Users
---------
UserID
Username
Password (hashed, obviously)
Role (deliminates user as a regular user or admin)
Scores
---------
ScoreID
f_UserID
f_SongID
Difficulty
Grade
SkillPercent
NumberOfPerfects
NumberOfGreats
NumberOfGoods
NumberOfBoos
NumberOfMisses
This is very much a work in progress. I'll start off with just ColdFusion/HTML/CSS and Notepad++. Once I get a grasp on things I'll throw in some neato Javascript AJAX shit that is oh so common these days (this probably won't happen).
Does anyone have server space? Platform doesn't matter so Linux is fine. It will need Apache, Notepad++, OpenBD (ColdFusion interpreter - http://www.openbd.org/), and some sort of GUI since I am a big stupid babby. Yes I know I should be using a fancy command-line server version of a Linux distro but I am way too dependent on a mouse.
I'm guessing no one will have server space. Does anyone have a host recommendation that lets me VPN in from Windows and fuck around in a GUI?
And yes I am parking the domain, http://www.sessionrockers.com
