Will I create developer contests?

There is nothing much on my website yet (www.themadcomputer.com), since I still have a bunch to create. However, you can sign up for a TheMadMail account meanwhile.

There is a good chance that I will be putting up developer contests on my website using my TheMadMail PHP system.

These developer contests will be put up so that you can send me a URL to your JavaScript, HTML(5), or CSS(3) creation. When the spaces have filled up I will select who's the winner and their creation will be put up on my website and possibly receive some prize.

But I did say "chance," didn't I? If I am to add developer contests onto my website, I need to make sure that I get enough visitors. The first contest may be very slow because of this. I'm thinking that I should maybe allow 10 spots at first, and see how quickly they fill up. Or maybe even fewer.

We will see. If you have any good suggestions, comment here!

Feedback

I'm almost ready to release my PHP-powered feedback form! Sorry for taking so long. I haven't been working on it that much.

So now my plans are to start writing again. Maybe take a break from developer work. Then, when I can work out a useful schedule or something like that, I can start coding Fights and Blood (the name of the game I'm thinking of making), while still writing for an hour. I limit the amount of time I'm on the computer because truthfully computer can be a waste of time when there's so much more to do.

And, do you know what I just thought would be cool? If I made another Save the Cave! Say, something like "catch the bandits" to continue the hardest game that I've ever made. Because in the description, it talks about how bandits have set a time bomb at the end of the cave. So where did the bandits go? If, by any chance, I start a sequel to Save the Cave, we'll find out.

I'm not promising any sequel.

PHP Feedback Form

The next to go into the works is my upcoming PHP feedback form. Regular visitors may sign up or if you wish to submit an idea and get an email if I did what you suggested, you will be allowed to sign in with your TheMadMail account (create one now and get special TheMadComputer news by email!).

Hopefully I can release the feedback form tomorrow. I already have one made with Google Spreadsheets, but now I would like my own custom design (TheMadComputer.com style).

Sign up for NEWSLETTER!

Hey, folks! I have created (with PHP) a way to sign up for a TheMadComputer newsletter! Get emails when I release games, add a developer project, update a game, or any other important information you want on my website. Note that you will not receive blog posts.

I promise that I will not spam you. Just simply go to my website (www.themadcomputer.com) and click on the sign-up button on the left sidebar and enter your email in the submission window. You should receive an email telling you that you've been signed up.

If you get the email but you didn't sign up you have the option to unsubscribe. So there you have it. :)

Tip of the Week

Do you have a submission email for sign-ups? So you can see the data by email? Do you require the people to send it in an email to you? Skip this!

PHP, a popular programming language, allows you to send emails directly from the script, as you may know. You should create a form with PHP that has the script to send you the email with the submission data. For example, if you want your visitors to sign up for a contest, all you have to do it make the script send an email to your submission email with the details of the data entered.

If you don't know how to do this yet in PHP or if you don't know any PHP, you can study it on many different sources. For simple tutorials, go to www.w3schools.com/php or to the PHP manual.
