Fixed the spelling. What I see in the database is just the OAuth key that Google says is valid for the website. I need you to click on the login link and then the google button. Then I'll see you in the database and I can grant access to the roles.

Sometimes, the database at Azure is sleeping too and it takes a nudge to wake up again. That's what I get for using the free trial. But the price was right! Edit: The other thing I should probably mention, is the website is looking to be a responsive HTML5/CSS3 environment. I'm not always the best a...

Shipyard Thoughts.... I'm thinking that shipyards on the web playaid are a fairly central theme and probably deserve their own treatments. Seems like a player would want to know.... * How many slots on my Shipyard are consumed with current construction. * When will the current construction complete?...

So, not exactly where I wanted to be this afternoon, but I got a bunch of the refactoring done. Because my hair is pointy and I'm not writing my unit tests like I should, I'm not sure that everything is still working, just the stuff that I checked. Updated the map on the system detail page to show s...

I'm setting up the turn sequence to handle the economics. Of course I originally set up everything as an integer, but looking at Maint$, I'm thinking I need to re-code that.

EP is measured in tenths and hundredths places? So I could have say, 16.45EP at some point?

So... I've gotten the ship create() function working. I've also tweaked the interface a bit too. I haven't published this yet however. I have the code setting up ships to be part of a fleet. To make the ship creation really work, I want to seek the shipyard(s) for the player and then build a new fle...

You should see "House Far Stars" now in the upper right and your shipyard has been activated!

Known Issues: Ship Class Create doesn't properly set class status as available if it should be. Can't create ships via the application (yet...) Can't create fleets via the application (yet...) Shipyard link on the top nav still hits my homebrew work. (fix soon) Colors on stats, are before the edit. ...

Shoot. Sorry, missed the tweaks on this push. Some updates. I'm not really happy with this yet, but it's far enough along to get some additional feedback. System Details screen plot with fleets: http://vbam2.azurewebsites.net/System/Details2/5861 You'll see two fleets so far, one for me and one for ...

So I don't spend time on things I'm not very good at.

If someone wanted to take the last screenshot and take a stab at coloring the DV,AS,AF,PD,CR and put out some suggestions (preferably with the Hex code) I would appreciate it.

Sometimes my obsession with a particular part flares up and I don't work on the most valuable thing next. So I have create working for me (I want to tweak a couple of usability things before I publish it) and decided that I really wanted the ship drawings in the shipclass overview page to reflect be...

Excellent idea, I believe I can pull that off. (I did fix the EP to not give an extra circle for a ten too.) I'm not going to publish out to the production server this evening, I still don't have "create" down, although I do have "edit" and "delete" working. Here's a pr...

I love that you point out the little stuff. I really do. I used to be a professional Lego master model builder. (yes, you read that right.) When I was young and working for Lego, I built the most wonderful Lego castle theme ever for Toy Fair in NYC. Then I had to do a peer review with the other mast...

Absolutely. I'm looking at the player detail screen as a model. http://vbam2.azurewebsites.net/player/Details/17 The version I have in development has a tab at the bottom for systems, fleets, and trade routes. (The version on the server you can get to only has systems right now.) Once I get the shi...

My pleasure. I've had the outlines of a game like this done and re-done for years. But I never got it quite far enough that I could code more than a proof of concept. This has been a lot of fun.
