Game Data:
Ok this part will handel most of the program knowlage base all the game so I will tell you head a bit about the planed features so you will know what the program need to know (in other words what data we need to collect)I admit me may get a little off the "match making" part becouse to allow singel player too becous its just one more colum so why not if it will becoume the bigest game data base let it if sites want to use it let them it's free open source work I say all help building and anyone can use yes I was thinking about getting cheats and reviews into it too but isn't review the place of the main game site and I never understode why cheat but I think we will leave that job for the players (if you disagree mail me) The plan is to support all the games that were ever created and to allow easy adding of new games
What do you mean by "ALL GAMES"?
Yes that a great imbison to support all the games that were ever created
1.All platforms/mechins yes including emulator games including dos, win32, mac, unix ect.
2.All game types
3.Web games too including web, java, flash ect.
4.All play modes including internet, local nets (every protacol),modem play, split screnn,singel player.
5.All game options on lunch such as selecting a map/level, setting your nick/colors/team ect.
Below is a sujested data base and I would like at least 10 ppl to commant on it before realy making it becouse remaking/changing a data base can be a realy hard job.
plz comment on this data base
mostly on adding stuff dont say its to mach it will be open for any one to use (other programs) and allow a lot fatchers on gmm besides we dont need all the into to add a game we can add it part by part but it will be very usfull we don't worry about space and we do not retrive all of it all the time just update and just for the supported platporms
