That link didn't work I assume that's because the sight simply just doesn't currently exist.
I must be dreaming (wake up me wake up) How could this have happened. Tireas' cry when he found his computer fallen over in his chair with it's screen shattered.

You guys should host the site on mike's brand new fast server. It runs at super speeds, is free, and supports php. The game should run really fast on a new Xserver.

Hmm. What are the pro's and con's of Ruby? Also, I never coded in it. Wouldn't you need a secondary app behind Lw to pick up and send variables?

I will gladly host a game site, and my servers are hosted on Dreamhost, which is very fast and reliable-- just let me know.

Right now, Gmod is definitely not working, and I am stuck.

So we might just have to take you up on that offer. Though, we have to build something identical to gmod using php or any other language.

Will ruby do everything php could do with gmod? Is it a browser based language?

Ruby is Python's competitor-- you can use them as executable scripts online, especially if you use Ruby on Rails.

EDIT: I don't know how GMOD's system currently works, but how I would think it should work would be to have each developer get a developer key, which corresponds to a table in the MySQL database. A user can just add data by submitting it using an applescripted cURL command. The server-side script would return a data id number, which the user could store to a variable to access later.

Yes.  :D

That's exactly how it works. No key is needed though. It's accessed through applescript.

Do you think you can possibly recreate it or help me create it?

Wow ghost, thats very generous of you! We'll be sure to take you up on that offer once I've created a fully functional flash based site. (We can have an html page for those without flash player, but flash would allow for music, animation, and many more cool things)

Thanks again!

No problem, if you want, I can even host a domain name.

I could help you redo the GMOD system, but at the moment I'm swamped with school, but I'll have a break mid-september where I could probably put together a draft.

I could also help you with Python if you want, since I'm pretty experienced. Ruby is still on my to-do list.

All of that would be great, at the moment we need content for LW before we get to work on the site. A draft would be nice :). Better talk to gan with all of this, it seems that this could be a big help.

Thanks :)

I'm also asking on a few php forums if they could help me understand it a little more.
