Continued Development of Pixelot (HTML5 Canvas Game)

Posted 1 week ago Liam Myself

Pixelot is a HTML5 Canvas game that I started before going to University. When i first started it I spent a lot of time on it and after a couple of weeks it was already beginning to take shape. Unfortunately when I hit a brick wall I stopped development on it and I was too busy to carry on with it.

One day over easter (2 years later) I went back to it and started porting it to Socket.IO (A socket library for NodeJS). Originally it was using ajax requests which was a massive limitation. Once I got the game working with Socket.IO i saw the potential and got carried away developing more and more functionality.

The features now included in the game are:

  • Realtime Multiplayer
  • Game Maps / Tiles
  • ServerSide Collision Detection
  • Combat System (Magic Spells)
  • Particle System ^^^^^^^^^^
  • Realtime Messaging
  • Inventory
  • Interaction with Map Tiles. (Open Chest, Cut Tree, etc)

The game is actually live at http://www.pixelot.net so feel free to take a look.

I have become a bit busy again in recent weeks but now that I have finished university i’m sure I will be able to find enough time to keep this project going and my aim is to create a decent morpg running on HTML5.

Pixelot actually started about 3-4 years ago when i was in college and me and my friend decided to make a game with php & html. Looking back the result was horrendous but it was a good learning experience at a point when i was really getting into Web Development. Its amazing to see how the result is so much better after years of learning.

PHP Developer from Leicester

Posted 10 months ago Liam Web-Design

My name is liam and I am a PHP Developer based in Leicestershire.

PHP is my main programming language and I have been using PHP for over 5 years. I taught myself everything I know and have experience with many libraries and concepts including Object Oriented PHP and MVC Structure.

I have been doing Freelance PHP Work for over 3 years and have worked on various projects from simple to very complex. My PHP skills are not limited and I can take on pretty much any project.

To link in with my PHP skills I also have a lot of experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery which means I can create great interfaces for any php applications including full website designs, interactive web app interfaces etc.

One of my Biggest PHP projects is probably a Content Management System which developed completely from scratch and is in ongoing development to support new functionality. The CMS allows website owners to easily edit their website in a way that I have never seen in any other CMS. Although it allows user to edit their pages in WYSIWYG editors the CMS also includes many different types of pages including Blog / News Pages, Image Gallery Pages, Branch Locator Pages, Food Order Pages, Shopping Cart Pages, Contact Form Pages, File Download Pages and many more. Each type of page has its own editor which allows the website owner to easily make changes. The CMS was developed for my Website Design company (Simply Websites UK) Which I have been running for just over a year.

If you are looking for a PHP Developer then please get in touch.

fPush Updated

Posted 1 year ago Liam Web-Design

fPush is a website which allows you to quickly upload files up to 20MB and it great for sending small files to friends.

Today I redesigned the website to make it look a lot better than it was and have also added more functionality such as Landing Pages for downloads which show information about the file before downloading.

I have also introduced a download counter which shows how many times a file has been downloaded. I have also set a limit of 50 downloads per file to prevent people using the service to host piracy.

Take a look at the website at: http://www.fpush.com
