Originally an app for the abandoned BlockOS, Blockonet was supposed to make a basics game Internet. Giving each player a website that is accessible at any domain they choose when they create their website. The websites use basic BBCode,with the b,I,URL,img,color and other tags implanted.

Progress/News
News:
So... Here's what's gone down.
Jincux started working on BLG so I guess he won't be helping anymore
I decided that everyone gets 1 website, with the domain of anything.
You will probably only get one page, may change in future.
This is now an independent client mod until BLG is released.
The MySQL database is nearing completion. Right now it can store sites and poop them back out. It also updates them if it already exists.

Nothing much other than a host switch, from Jincux to my server. That's all for now. So here's the progress

Client Rendering -- 85%
Server -- 65%
Dynamic Page Creation -- 10%

There's been no graphical change so if you want a picture refer to the last few pics in the original topics.

So I made some quick stuff and put together the SQL Database and the API.
So current the API is running off MySQL
and is running great!

[Brian Smithers]

Since adding in websites right now is so easy I made an HTML page to make it even EASIER
So, I'll give a quick documentation on how to use it and an example (the home page). Then anyone who posts the name of their site and the source, I'll gladly put it in now and render it


So, before I begin, let me say this: there are no spaces! It's just that it is based off of BBCode so BBCode will format.
[ b ] - Bold
[ i ] - Italics
[ color=colorname ] - Color (colorname - White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Purple - no caps)
[ url=anysite ] - Links, works for both Blockonet and Real Internet!
[ img width=width height=height ] blahblah.com/blah.png [ / img ] - Images, since blockland doesn't support getting the size of an image, you ha ve to manually input width and height.
Also, to begin your site
you have to do
+++textbox+++
to end it
---textbox---
So, for example

Code: [Select]

+++textbox+++

I think it's cool but seriously see no point what so ever.

[Brian Smithers]

Update: Fluffy added something where you can do +++textbox+++ just size (just would be center if you want to set it) and size is the size of the font
size is broken :(

@Derroith it's something you use while waiting for something or loading. It's not something you'd spend your entire time on. It's a neat little gadget.

[Pentium]

This is pretty cool, I'm glad you're continuing with it.
Btw, are you still doing the wacky routine of converting the page to TML on the server instead of on the client?

[HellsSpot]

I think it's cool but seriously see no point what so ever.

Doesn't everything?

[Ephialtes]

I think you've got this entirely wrong. You're trying to emulate the internet within Blockland by having a single central server - that's not at all how the internet works.

The stuff Truce was doing with torque running webservers was far more interesting, and if you just provided a central DNS service to point to people's torque webservers then it actually gives this some applicable uses. At the moment, like everyone's been saying, it's completely useless.

When i saw the topic title i thought this was something like skynet or something. :P
