Civ3 Demo Game Website Contest

Kuciwalker · June 29, 2002, 15:27

If there are any good amateur or professional web designers here who would like to design the Civ3 Demo Game Website, please create a sort of "framework" site that shows how you would make it, with some sample information, etc. We could have several of you work on maintaining the site, though this would be strictly on a volunteer basis. Please submit your site design (by posting a link to it) by next Friday, and I'll post a poll on Saturday. I may extend the deadline if there aren't enough submissions; I don't really know how long it would take to do this sort of thing.

I am really eager to enter this competition, however I am jam packed this week, would there be a chance of extending the deadline to sunday?

Also, what is the official name, "Apolyton Democracy Game" or "Civ3 Democracy Game"?

Sirotnikov · June 30, 2002, 01:21

I am in.

Wait for it for several hours

Sirotnikov · June 30, 2002, 01:51

Snoopy I want the PSD (or PSP) file for the icons, and all the pics you used for the symbols.

Kuciwalker · June 30, 2002, 06:59

Jordie, I'll extend the deadline to Sunday then. Nice to have you here.

If anyone else has problems and want an extension, I'll give it. We want the best site possible.

jordie · June 30, 2002, 08:26

Sweet, thanks!

Kuciwalker · June 30, 2002, 09:03

could we top this?

FrostyBoy · June 30, 2002, 10:02

HA!

So THIS is why you want the PSD? Right on...

For fun, I will join in on this competition!

and! I will upload the PSD now... be warned tho, it is MESSY, (Coz of all the changes I had to go thru *sigh*).
It's usable, but I think if you're just after the images, I would just download the zip on the other thread.

FrostyBoy · June 30, 2002, 10:05

..

Kuciwalker · June 30, 2002, 10:21

I'm citizen #9. Can you make mine?

FrostyBoy · June 30, 2002, 10:25

I'm currently doing two things now lol

I'll get to the citizens if anyone can think of an appropriate icon, anything that doesn't look like the government ones

Kuciwalker · June 30, 2002, 10:27

Why not use the one you posted, except change the number?

FrostyBoy · June 30, 2002, 11:06

I'd rather not, its too similiar to the government ones, it'll make the democracy forum look confusing

I'll get something else, I have an idea already actually

Sirotnikov · June 30, 2002, 12:03

Woohoo. PSD Sweet....

Though I hoped it would have higher resolution and that you merely resized it.

Now can I get the pictures which you used to make those little emblems?

FrostyBoy · July 1, 2002, 00:20

The screen is only 72, there'd be no point in making the resolution any higher.

Those pictures are in that psd

I don't have the originals, and some of them I had to draw.

Kuciwalker · July 1, 2002, 12:45

*move to top*

Anyone else?

jordie · July 1, 2002, 21:17

I have a question, what title do you want put on the website? Apolytonia, Civ Democracy Game or Apolyton Democracy Game?

Sirotnikov · July 1, 2002, 21:54

Ooh shi&...

I was too busy making a birthday party and forgot about this.

Now that I'm 18 and 5 days, I'm gonna make you a website you won't forget

Kuciwalker · July 2, 2002, 11:00

Jordie - it should probably be called Civilization III Democratic Game - Official Site (optional

).

Good

. I hope everyone does their best.

jdjdjd · July 2, 2002, 11:42

I wish I had the time, this would be a fun project. Several pages connected to the home page, links to the left in .inc file, flag on the top with heading, in .inc, content in lower right, lots of possibilities.

If you need free server to host web site, there is brinkster.com which I use currently for a fantasy football website, its geared to ASP users. There are several others out there for free to use servers, though they are not as reliable as those hosts like angelfire that just allow limited coding options.

Obviously, I babble on with no purpose, but excited about the idea, disappointed I won't be able to work on one.

Jon Shafer · July 2, 2002, 11:47

I don't have the time to maintain anything else.

Sirotnikov · July 2, 2002, 11:56

1) If I make it a PHP site, will it be ok? I can make a nice front end for whomever will administer the site

2) Could great MarkG host it on Apolyton?

Kuciwalker · July 2, 2002, 12:02

Trip - I didn't say you would mantain it. If you read my post, it says that, and I quote, "We could have several of you work on maintaining the site, though this would be strictly on a volunteer basis." They would update and such, if they wanted to. Also, this doesn't need to be part of the Constitution, which only regulates the forum, turnchats, and what you can do with the savegame on your computer. What is done outside of that isn't under its jurisdiction. (I'm just heading off a potential conflict here)

Sirotnikov -

1) I don't really know what any of that stuff is - I'm more than computer literate, but not into web design - but anything that makes it better is good.

2) Probably.

Kuciwalker · July 2, 2002, 13:09

NEW!

Anyone who helps maintain the site will recieve 30 bananas a week for their efforts.

jordie · July 3, 2002, 02:14

Sirotnikov I was also planning on making it a PHP site with admin area. Perhaps we could work on it together to make a killer site?

BTW I can make i2media.net/~civ3 or something which would have access to a MySQL database, PHP abilities and it's own FTP so everyone (webbies and ministers) can have access to it.

What do you think?
