A compilation of my personal hobbies featuring game-specific statistics, videos, collectibles, and a bit more. Built with PHP, MySQL and a lot of love.
What exactly is this?
This projects involve some of my hobbies. From collecting model cars, trading cards or playing videogames, any excuse I had to write a bit of code, put together a database and get them online, I would take.
What are those?
Horta Playing is my pet project, a big umbrella where I host pages for most of my hobbies, each with their own database and specific needs. I'll be adapting all of them and bringing over to this website under the same visual identity and security structure.
What is the plan?
Custom page templates will ensure their needs will be met. This lightweight solution will allow me to take my time and bring them over as individual pages, using specific page parameters to request data for each part of the project
Roadmap
The projects will be imported and adapted in the following order:
- ✅ Magic: the Gathering card collection
- ✅ Collectibles
- ✅ Gaming videos
- ✅ Grand Prix II
- ✅ DiRT Rally 2.0
- ✅ FormulaDuude - The Archive
- ✅ Racing Games (including the infamous Race Reports)
- ✅ iRacing
