you'd probably be well served to help them with their efforts rather than reinventing the wheel. |
I find that one very hard one to follow. The way theirs is organized is different from the way I would have it. I would help but helping would require me to start from ground up, lol. I guess I'm just a little OCD about it >_<
I mean I want to have the same style pictures instead of just random ones of people's collections. And not only that, I have game covers for the US,UK, and JP put in it. Like theirs has the games for all the regions listed all in one column while mine is the games name in the first column and then in the columns adjacent to it is the different region variants art covers as well as the release dates.
Kinda like this:
Game JP UK US
3D Dot Game Heroes 11/5/2009 5/14/2010 5/11/2010 JP Pic UK pic US pic
I dont think I would even be using the same language to code. I haven't decided which one to use yet. I need to practice with Matlab but I also need to learn Java, so I skip to the 2nd level java class next semester, so I can get my minor for CS. lol.
Also,their database is missing quite a lot of games. So, pretty much using there's as a basis to build their database would be more work in a way. I guess what Im trying to say is that the way I'll be making my database would just not work with how they have theirs.
Thanks for the input though. ^_^
