Flash Games Website

[Ner0]

This is my very first full PHP project, I have worked hard on this for about 2 months, just learning the language and putting it together to create this, it is still in BETA, the public side of the games website is 99% finished, just a few minor adjustments need to be made to complete it, these will be added in the upcoming patches, then I will start working on the adminCP from which all the games can be added/removed/edited and other stuff etc so everything can be done via the website itself, then hopefully I can sell the license for people to use my code if it goes well.

Please leave your honest opinions about this, please take into consideration that only a few months ago I had no clue how to use PHP, and leave suggestions on how I could improve the site, thanks in advance.

1) Flash games are USUALLY for children...therefore I suggest getting rid of Orgasm Girl and Torture Game (or whatever it's called). My god, you'll make a new generation of Serial Rapists!

 

2) Going along with that, the the colors look childish. Perhaps that's the idea, but it's like the opposite of #1. xD

 

3) Perhaps organizing your categories nicer would be less of a burden to those of us who don't know anything about the site. Perhaps making a table or something with entries for each category in a row. It's hard to distinguish in the list now.

 

4) Try more fonts? Times New Roman is terribly boring now.

 

5) JESUS! http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://education.byethost31.com/&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

 

6) Invalid CSS http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://education.byethost31.com/CSS/Global.css

Okay...

 

Reply to 1): Its a project, I used random games I came across to fill the sections

 

Reply to 3): When there is more than 14 games in each category, it fits in perfectly and is easily readable, I just didnt add the games because it would have taken to long doing it manually

 

Reply to 2,4,5,6): It was more about the PHP than the HTML and CSS. When I was making this, I was more concerned about the PHP working than the HTML & CSS but I will take these comments on board, and when I go to do it again, I will check the HTML & CSS regularly to make sure its valid.

 

Thanks for the feedback

Yep, no problem.

A note about the CSS, I know it's a project and that you are more concerned with the php aspect, but if you are going to use CSS then at least do take care with the use of ID when you should be using CLASS.

 

The link to the 100 list is not displaying as it should, this I think is more a problem with the CSS above.

 

Each of the top ten div tags use the same ID. This is not correct CSS markup, it would be better to make the ID into a CLASS in your style sheet and in your html page.

 

The PHP seems to be working ok...but then I too am new to PHP so I can't comment too much! LOL

Yeh, I realised this half way through creating it and to be honest, I just wanted to get the PHP right, but I when I do my next project, I will certainly keep checking the validation of my HTML and CSS.

 

Thanks for the feedback again

Er, is critiquing the same as testing? I don't think so...

 

The only thing we can test without seeing the PHP code is the simple task of hitting all of the links to make sure the correct page fires, and if this is for a project that's really your job

I made this one:

 

http://flashgamereviews.com/

 

It's for reviews but you can play the games too. It has an awesome backend, that handles the image gallery and videos. The site also automatically saves a local copy of the swf from a url.
