<strong>Video Game Quotes</strong> is a little project that I decided to tackle one day. I gave
|
|
myself a week to implement everything and throw it up on the internet.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The inspiration for the site was that there were a lot of awesome video game quotes, but sadly,
|
|
no central place to go to find/search/read them. That made me sad.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The infrastructure is modeled after <a href="http://bash.org/">bash.org</a>, which is a database
|
|
of IRC quotes. One thing I wanted to make sure of was that it shouldn't require you to login or
|
|
register. No email addresses, or usernames, or passwords. The site keeps track of who has voted
|
|
for what based on IP address, which admittedly is a quite fragile. But it's the only way to
|
|
unique-ish-ly identify someone without requiring a login. So, you could totally game the system
|
|
by voting, resetting your router, closing your browser, and voting again. I won't stop you.

<h3>Technical Details</h3>
|
|
<div class="inset">
|
|
<p>
|
|
The site was written in C♯ using <a href="http://www.asp.net/mvc">ASP.NET MVC 2</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://unity.codeplex.com/">Unity</a> and <a href="http://nhforge.org/">NHibernate</a>.
|
|
It runs on <a href="http://nginx.org/">nginx</a> using <a href="http://www.mono-project.com/">Mono</a>
|
|
via FastCGI on Ubuntu. It uses MySQL for the backend.
