Updates

Simplified URL Hash
2010-09-02

The traffic has slowed down recently because I haven't been advertising the site so I decided to make some updates. Firstly, I updated the way the build hash is calculated in order to shorten the length of the URL. The build hash is half the length of the original. I also made the site run complete on javascript with no database queries. This should improve performance (not that it was slow before). I also made this update section so you could see what I am up to.

Why use MyStarcraftBuild.com?

I created MyStarcraftBuild.com so that anyone who plays Starcraft 2 has a place they can design build orders. As you create your build order a link is dynamically generated in the URL. Use this link on blogs, forums or websites of your choice. i.e:

Getting Started

  1. Start by choosing a race from the top right corner of this screen
  2. Your available buildings and units will appear on the left side of the screen
  3. Your build will appear in the center of the screen as you create it
  4. The total cost of your build will appear on the right side of the screen
  5. As you create your build take note of the following:
    • Your available buildings and units will be enabled and disabled based on your build order
    • Buildings and units added to your build can be sorted and removed
  6. Once you are happy with your build, simply copy the URL and post it on your blog, forum or website of choice.
