Cool new game

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I’ve made a cool new game as an extension of the Screeze launch game.

It’s a text-based game with many hidden clues and in the future will force you to make decisions that change the outcome of the game.

If you want to check it out you can find it at http://screeze.com/game.html

Armagetron Server Outage

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I’m sorry that the tron servers are down. This is due to a power outage that has recently come to my attention. I will be bringing the servers back up as soon as possible, which will be sometime tomorrow in the early afternoon.

I need ideas

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

I want to make another PSP game but I have completely no idea on what kind of game it should be. If you have an idea shoot me a comment here, or reply on the aggregated topic on Screeze.

BTW, I want to add a type of trophy/award system and have the ability to play on the computer as well and sync progress so your ideas should have this in mind for types of games this would work with. For instance a simple game with a bunch of minigames wouldn’t work because there is no need progress saving.
Although, if you think you have a really awesome idea but it doesn’t work with the aforementioned requirements tell me anyway.
If I use your idea you will of course be credited in the game.

myBB and Integrations

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

As you may or may not know, Screeze is powered by myBB and I’ve had no problems with it.

However, now it comes time I want to make a sub-site for Screeze and implement a Single Sign-On system only to be faced with the harsh reality that myBB is way behind the other board softwares in this sort of thing.

I found no bridges for myBB or anything at all that would help me make a SSO system, so I made my own.

I spent about 5 days learning about OpenID and making an implementation for myBB so I could share Screeze’s user information.

The way I made the implementation was by altering phpMyID. My solution does not use Screeze’s DB at all. Rather, it checks the login cookies to see if your logged in, and if you are it sends out the OpenID with your username. If you aren’t logged in, it allows you to by opening a window with a login form and going back a page in the browser to let you try the OpenID again.

This of course is much more streamlined in the subsite, since I have more control over everything.

So, Screeze users, consider this an early preview of the full surprise. You now all have OpenID’s. Your OpenID is in the following format:
