ddslogo The Diamond Dust Server was a small gaming community of which I was a part part of. As the technical lead I was tasked with maintaining a virtual server which hosted popular sandbox game ‘Minecraft’.

Following the success and ever increasing traffic to the server, I helped to create and design a website for the community built in PHP and hooking into a MySQL database back-end.

The website allowed for users of the server to create accounts and link to their in-game profiles which also relied on the MySQL database. Through the shared data I was able to create a platform in which users could log in online to view stats, progress and chat with other players without actually playing the game, the aim of which was to expand the community and create a space for advertising revenue.
