An Idea

After many a week I have come up with an idea for this dynamic data changeable website. Bit of a random idea but I can relate it to the fantasy football type sites, where people can make accounts where they create their own team by selecting players from different teams across a league, effectively making an ultimate team. Each week as games are played in the real league the players get different results which allocates points to the user's fantasy team based on how their players performed in their real games. So the aim is to choose the best players and receive more points than your friends fantasy teams.

My idea is similar to this but it would not be based on real data from live leagues, it would be generated data from a game system of Pirates. So instead of choosing an ultimate team to go and play in the real leagues, you'd make your ship, choose some pirates to man your ship and give them roles, and each week there would a round of open warfare against your friends ships and you can see the results of your pirates and how your ship is doing.


This means that I'll need to look into setting up a few different data systems that can generate some calculated and some random results for the pirate warfare, and once these are working well I can add in more variables so that my pages can have more data to dynamically visualize to fit the assignment.
