Wanted: Free web site to host web based game. From: s337186@student.uq.edu.au (Bradley Jayakody) Date: Sun, 22 Feb 1998 00:00:00 +0000 What we need is a site with full CGI and access to a SQL database. If the system is UNIX based, it is relatively easy to install micro-SQL. (We've been doing this for our LAN testing). We need around 20-30 megs disk space (The game itself is around 3 megs, but the database files tend to get rather large). And the site has to be free. The game itself is almost completed, there are a couple of fine points to tune, which is why we need to test it on a site. And as we are all poor uni students we don't want to pay for a site, if the interest in the game is non-existent. The game itself is played through a web browser (optimized for netscape), and is turn based play. Basically it involves building up armies and moving them around to try and destroy opponents castles/forts. The game has a graphical map for movement, and uses a javascript interface. I don't want to get too specific here, until the game is on-line, in case anyone tries to steal ideas :0 What do you get? We've implemented a system where if the player hits the advertisers, they get a bonus in the game(i.e. bonus turns, bonus gold, bonus troops). So while the game is on the site, we are willing to split all advertising revenue with the host. Note, due to the nature of target audience, we can not advertise adult sponsors. This game will chew bandwith and CPU time, so be warned. Up
