I'll be posting screenshots in the discord as I code the battle system next week. The beta testing will be placeholder line-art for the pets and even rougher place holders for items. Likely will be seeking some artists to hire soon, if I don't hear back from my original artist (it has been...

Over the past few months I've been recreating Vmons from scratch. Closed beta will be coming in November and I'm looking for people that can hang out in the Discord, provide input on ideas, and participate in the beta. The initial beta will focus mostly on the battle and rankings system. In...

Back when I started in the Virtual Pet community I was a kid and had no money. Now I'm fairly savvy with the server side of things and how to get free hosting on a few platforms and would like to help others get into doing programming for whatever web based project they're working on. My primary...

Having written VPGs in PHP since the dawn of time and using various languages like java (misc stuff), ruby (misc stuff and websites), python (because I *thought* it was cool), C++ (everything under the sun for no reason), C# (3D and 2D games), and various other languages. I decided it was time...

PunBB, Invision, vBulletin, and phpBB have a lot of technical debt that something like Vanilla Forums doesn't. They have to maintain legacy code while keeping features. Invision has done well in their attempts to stay relevant, but I still don't like Invision personally.  Good luck to you. :)

Greetings! There's tons of options out there. Vanilla Forums: https://vanillaforums.com/en/software/ Single Sign-on Options: https://docs.vanillaforums.com/help/sso/ Vanilla is one of my favorite forums out there. It's decently maintained and you can even pay for support on it...

@nobackseat is very correct here.  Affirmation/Clarification for anyone unaware: Hashing algorithms are a branch of cryptographic algorithms, definitely not "encryption" as the input for these algorithms are not designed to be reversed. Best practices in handling passwords is to NEVER email...

Visual Studio Code has really good git integration if anyone is interested in a decent, but light IDE: https://code.visualstudio.com Personally I'm using VS Code and I have Windows Subsystem for Linux setup with some custom scripts and $DISPLAY set to forward windows to Xming. So I get to use...

@Syntax I looked over those contracts you linked to and they're pretty weak from an enforce-ability standpoint. Some of them have conditions that become invalid in some places, for example one that stated a limitation of liability in bold. Depending on where arbitration happens, it could...

Thanks to companies like digital ocean, I would say that any project should be built with scale in mind. The ability to take your application from running on just one or two devices to 100s of devices (to accommodate a growing user foot print) is a design constraint that would make an app...

It's really awesome to know both the programming side and the infrastructure side of things. Back in the day, I would be trolling for free cPanel accounts just to have a way to test PHP before I found out I could just install XAMPP and WAMP. These days I just setup testing environments inside...

Who am I? I've went by a few usernames over the years, but I was very heavily in this specific community before cpvr first started this site all the way up until 2008. Then I came back 2009 - 2011. Since then I've been off doing life stuff. I don't really want to go too deep into who I am, I...
