So, today started with refocusing on a huge problem that has been holding me back in developing the web app. I was unable to successfully connect to the database and insert a record containing the player data collected in the initial player form.
I had tried many dozens of times, researched, attempted, researched again ad nauseum. I had given up temporarily and instead focused on the design aspects of the game, figuring I might have to pay someone to solve this seemingly simple problem for me.
But today I tried one more time and made it happen! What a great feeling. That was about 5 am this morning and I am still riding high on the buzz.
Progress has been slowed a bit by a 2-week contract with my former employer, with another week to go. But I do manage to fit in a few hours on the game anyway.
Next challenge is to actually save the data from the Create Intention form. After that, displaying the data and editing it. Then I will have a working app that I can start using and my friends can start testing.
If you should be reading this (even in the future) and want to be part of my testing group, please contact me through the Contact Us form on the website. I'd put my email address here, but that's just begging for spammers to do their thing.
Success Now! - You deserve it, and it's FUN!
