Q: What is DragonRealms?
A: DragonRealms is a highly addictive, text-based online multiplayer game that's more innovative, all-encompassing, and ground-breaking as any graphical game you can imagine. You can find the website at http://dragonrealms.net/.

Q: Is this part of DragonRealms, Play.Net or Simutronics??
A: Newp. This is a project independent of that game/site/company.

Q: What is The DragonRealms Script Repository?
A: It's a web application developed from the ground up that allows folks to be able to upload, update, share and comment on their scripts.

Q: Where can I learn to script?
A: Official DragonRealms Reference, Olwydd's Tutorial and Micwolf's Tutorial.

Q: How much does this service cost?
A: Free of charge.

Q: No crap?
A: No crap, but if you get the hankerin' to drop a plat or two on me, I'm usually on as Faethe. :)

Q: Who are you?
A: My name is Rob -- you may know me in Prime by the name Wynder, Faethe or Mobyus. You may know me as the guy who runs Crossroads of Elanthia. You may know me as (former) GM-Chade the GM from Modus Operandi or the (short-lived) Quest Coding GM from Hero's Journey (damned family!). ;) I'm a web app and database developer by night and a computer science teacher and traditional Irish musician by night.

Q: How do I get started with the repository?
A: You create an account -- all you need is an email address and a password. I recommend that you don't use your Play.Net password, although I store the passwords encrypted (one-way), so if you forget it, you'll be emailed a method to generate a new password.

Q: Then what?
A: Once you have an account, you can click on the 'My Scripts' link at the top -- if you don't have any scripts, you'll be prompted to create one. If you do have one or more, you can select one to update or view.

Q: What's involved in creating a script?
A: You enter a script, description, what script engines it'll run on along with some tags for search indexing.

Q: What about updating?
A: It's a similar screen -- you can update and change the information, leaving any parts you wish to remain unchanged.

Q: How can other people view my scripts?
A: Well, there's a search function on the main page. Also, when you view your script, you'll be provided with a URL that you can cut and paste. Q: What'd you use to write this application?
A: PHP and MySQL -- I write my pages by hand using vi (hardcore, baby!).

Q: How long did it take you?
A: About a half a day to get stuff to the point where I wanted to release it for testing -- granted, I used my DR Profiler as a template.

Q: Can you write me a web application?
A: Sure, I charge $80/hr for contract web development. You can contact me here.
