Visually rich Flash quiz application about players of an ice hockey team

Kettupeli

The game was realized for media company Länsi-Suomi and especially for their online publication Raumalainen.fi. The game is about the players of local ice hockey team called Rauman Lukko. The players filled a questionnaire about their daily activities on the way to the evening’s match, and the answers were turned into a quiz application. The game opens a personal view to the life of an ice hockey player and makes the players and audience closer to each other.

The game was realized as a Flash movie/Actionscript hybrid (Compared to a pure Actionscript class) with heavy lean towards code and modularity.

Script to create a custom random gallery in WordPress and using jQuery for layout design

You might except a grander programme from that title, but this is actually a quite simple and straigthforward project.

From that I got and idea of creating a complete staircase of three rows by adding one extra row with one image. The images would be picked randomly from a larger gallery.

An example of creating a MySql database with PHP and downloading it as CSV

Download the example package: php_mysql_csv_example.zip

I needed to create a simple and easy to modify intranet database for certain project, and I now offer the setup as a complete working example. PHP and MySql are probably the most commonly used tools to organize information on the internet. The files have been derived from a couple of tutorials about creating a MySql database with PHP and .csv export, and I have compiled and commented the package from the ready job to an easily digestable form. The package is needlessly modular but I hope it provides building blocks for something of your own.
