If you get a chance, take a look.

I've just finished off a little website prototype I've been toying with:
[URL]http://www.yourtrumps.com/button.php?deck_id=11[/URL] - It is basically a game of trump cards. The unique thing being that users can create their own decks.

As for the technical side, it's PHP, MySQL and Flash. I've tried using a bit of CSS, but as I've been using the old fashioned method of tables and 1x1 spacer gif for so long - why break the habit ;-)

If the link's down or slow, it's because it's on my home pc at the moment.

Thanks :-D
I've had the idea for over a year... only just got round to learning php/flash and putting the time aside to build it.

If you do decide to create a deck, let me know how it goes! You'd be the first (other than me doing a couple of test decks).

i couldn't help but take a quick peek at the deck you've started :-D
Looks nice!!
Remember to check 'enable' to get the cards included in the deck (at least 2 need to be enabled - although just 2 cards would be a pretty short game!).

You can play it when you're logged in as yourself for the time being... but when it's finished, click 'submit for public' and i'll put it up for everyone to play.

Make sure you put donkey kong in there ;-)
Maybe you could use the categories Speed or Intelligence - that would make sure Bowser would loose :P

Anyway - thanks for trying it out - if you find anything tricky or comnfusing, let me know and i'll try and fix it.

I signed up but cannot make my deck yet as the information I need is harder to come by than I expected!

Could you possibly add support for GIF's?

I'd like to!
When I installed PHP and the graphic libraries, they only supported jpegs. I think a new version with gif support is due shortly (once a patent has expired).

I'll look into it tonight - it definately one of the main improvements I'd like to make.
