I'm addicted to games
Some people have complained that my "action shot" on some of the game pages are dull. I tried to change them when a new run is released but that seemed inadequate.
When Blake's metroid run was posted I wanted to change that and both a kraid and ridley shot seemed good ... so I came up with a javascript method of randomly selecting on of the two.
But i hated that... it was messy, and people could disable it. So tonight I whipped up a perl script to do the same job: behold!
Or, an even more larger example, for one of David Gibbons's upcoming runs: 10 possibilites
So ... I need people to create pics!
That'll liven things up for sure right?
For NES and gb/gbc/gba games I like to use screenshots from ROMs because they look a lot cleaner... but it's not necssary. If they are, they should be saved to pallete-reduced png files only.
Everything else is jpg, keep them under 20 KB.
Since I'm so busy with runs already (the queue is at an all time high) I don't have the time to take the pics myself obviousy.
I'm hoping someone, or a group of people, will take charge of this opportunity and collect lots of pics for the existing games I have up. I think about a dozen would be the max needed, although it doesn't have to be that many. Once someone has organized a good collection they can hand them to me and the script will do the rest.
They'll need to be named the same as the html page followed by _#. So like mzm_3.png or MajorasMask_3.jpg. The number starts at 3 unless you think the currently posted pic is utter shit, then you can start at 2.
Or you could tell me you hate the idea, whatever.
