Dark Void Blog

Start Date: June, 2009
URL:
http://community.darkvoidgame.com/
Technology:
php5, MySQL 5.0, Prototype/Scriptaculous, Twitter API, cron
Purpose:
This was the first phase of a longer term project to provide a community for people interested in the Capcom game Dark Void
Challenges:
As mentioned above this was the first phase of a larger project so the entire blog uses the StreetWise platform; so there was a little wheel invention here.
There was also the AJAX poll & trivia system; this was a HUGE pain in the ass. This was where I learned that excuting JavaScript inside an AJAX layer is complicated.
