    Background sizes?

    There are tools on google chrome which will let you quickly convert your site to different device displays. This is a good way to test it in different screen sizes.   You can also use the network tab to then see how long it will take the image to load under different network conditions. IE...

    PHP? Frameworks?

    Pet games can be written in any language ie CryptoKitties is written using block chain, haha. I think most people use PHP because it's easy to learn and has weak data types and syntax structure like Javascript so there's a lot less ramping up than a strongly typed and highly opinionated and...

    If you are an advanced user when it comes to servers you can get great prices with DigitalOcean's cloud servers.  Server start at only $5 a month and go up in about $5 increments. I have 15 servers for only $120 a month. If you use my referral link you'll get a $10 credit to try it...

    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    It sounds like this hit a nerve with a lot of people. Why should talking about what a game realistically costs something that's looked at so negatively? I thought this was supposed to be a place of constructive discussion and help for game developers. If someone told you they wanted to build a...

    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    It's the reality of the situation, making games is expensive. I didn't intend to be rude, otherwise I wouldn't have offered to buy them a license. If that's how it came across I apologize.

    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    Coding As Little As Possible - Third party packages and when to use them

    It's not uncommon in large software to see things like this, especially if you're using new web frameworks like Angular/React/Vue, etc. You're assuming that everyone is writing their game in Rails. There are lots of programming languages out there and this is not a one size fits all situation...

    Coding As Little As Possible - Third party packages and when to use them

    In some ways I agree, but in others I disagree. One problem I've found when you work with software that has lots of packages (I currently work with one that has 200+ dependancies from other packages) is constant dependency issues and versioning problems. Also, you end up with a lot of extra...

    What do you expect from someone hiring you for a project?

    I typically would build out all the details of a project before I would even estimate the cost of doing the project. This is the example breakdown for programming work that I would send people before they even got a full estimate to give them an idea of the level of detail I needed before I...

    Coding pains

    I program 40 hours a week for my full time job and about 10 to 20 hours a week on my.own projects. Your brain is just like any other muscle, it can get exhausted after hard thinking. However, the more you do it and use it the stronger it gets and the more stamina you'll build up. Keep at it!
