3. Dataverse Introduction: A Data Manager
Managing big worlds, like a game that’s run for several years, can be a major challenge: There’s just too much information, too many people, and too many events to remember… let alone catch up new players.
So, we create a website that can keep track of all the game and story information we give it, and make it accessible to all players… Even world maps!

4. Dataverse: Maps! Upload images Group and color-code locations
Zoom in and out

5. Dataverse: Things! People Events Places
Hidden facts that only the author can choose to reveal!

6. Dataverse: An “Easy” Project?
Well-defined requirements
Fairly simple coding
Very distinct subtasks
Incremental development
Results within the first week or two
Usable and useful, too!

7. Dataverse: Skill Sets Required
PHP or ASP
SQL of any kind
HTML
CSS
Javascript

8. Dataverse: Conclusion
This is really just a web interface for a pretty simple database.
It’s got well-defined requirements, and distinct subtasks for easy development.
It should be easy to get the critical parts done first, with the hard parts noncritical.
Face it, you secretly love web programs, and this one will get used!
