So you want database tables with rows and columns rather than just "something to load/save data" ?
if so - that makes a huge difference in what your asking for.

No, the data needs to be organised. As in it needs to be easy for you to add new values etc, instead of things like %client.blahblah = bob;

Then what interface to I give to the user?
I need to actually know what I'll be storing before I make a script to store it.

EDIT: I've created a binary file input/ouput/conversion libary of my own, now I just need to be told what I'll need to store.

Destiny/Zack0Wack0 · May 22, 2011, 07:12:34 PM

just use an rpg game example
money level guild
etc

Can I assume that the primary key for all databases will be a blockland ID?

Ah well, I used what I had to make a coverter of save files to a new binary save format, and a convert for a reverse conversion.
If the contest doesn't expire for at least another day, I'll try to make something like that.

Wait, why am I still in this? I can't compete in this. Finishing school and applying for jobs has taken most of my time and will for a bit longer. I will let you know if I want to rejoin, but for now, I need to be taken off.

Treynolds416 · May 23, 2011, 03:40:19 PM

Zack, can you give the submission time deadline in EST?
