A few test pages

[matt]

Hey guys,

I was doing some playing around and just wanted to show you a few cool things I was working on. If you are logged in, check out these pages:

Visual collection display:
http://vgcollect.com/temp/shelf.php

Arrow keys to scroll:
http://vgcollect.com/temp/scroll.php

Really just doing some experimenting with design and UI. I think eventually I can clean these up and incorporate a much better design and UI flow to the site.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

looks good on my phone.  I couldn't do the thing with the arrow keys but the shelves look pretty cool. I believe the top row on the shelves is a little low.

I've only got 20 items in my collection so it looks good. Don't know what happens when you have 100s :p

It's just a test so it limits things to 4 rows for now.

Is this only viewable on mobile devices...?  Nothing appears when I check on my desktop mac (Firefox)...

There's your problem right there.

As long as you are logged in you should see something.

Hm, ok, got it to work now.  I logged out and logged back in (on a desktop PC now) and it shows up!
Alignment is a little wonky, but it looks great!  The scrolling shelf is nice, too, but I almost feel like they're scrolling by on a clothesline since they're all top justified

I noticed something on the scroll. Does it ignore games w/ no box art? If so I noticed box size gaps between games sometimes. I never looked in my normal list to see if these blank spaces were actually games in my collection though.

I could see the scroll being a neat gimmick. But it's kind of a pain to navigate the whole collection when you have hundreds... unless you build in a "jump to a-b-c-d-etc" function.
