On my original jordanislame.neocities.org indie web website, I had made a page sort of celebrating the aesthetic of the PC-98. It has images all over it of some of the more spectacular images and animations from those games. Games like Snatcher, etc. I made a mild remake of that page, but where the image paths are stored as a string in MySQL, and the string is fetched by a PHP loop to use in the “src” attribute of HTML image tags. Just like the Gurencodes main page database-ification I did right before this, it looks like the same exact webpage.
So is this even exciting? Maybe not to you. But for me, these are steps towards being able to make advanced websites with videos that have data (like a name and view count) attached to their SQL table row, login systems, etc. It’s always good to get comfortable learning backend database systems if you want to get into web development.
I used some Bootstrap on this so it looks a little different than the original.
