The Pixelling Cow - Beta
In the last two weeks I was working on a personal web project in my free time. Hope some of you will find it interesting and/or useful. This is the first stable release, so expect a lot of changes/additions in the near future. I'll keep you updated.
--
ThePixellingCow is currently the most comprehensive database of Commodore 64 scene-related pixel-art.
At the moment, it hosts 6201 images, 1497 artists and 475 events.
It is basically a periodically refreshed mirror of CSDb's graphics related content, but with an accessible and clean UI more suitable for graphics-related content. So, for those who are interested in specific graphics-releases: now you could find them faster and easier.
It's still far from finished. Consider it's present state as a beta testing terrain.
TPC needs help!
At the moment, only one person is doing all the work, so any kind of support would be highly appreciated! Especially in the following areas:
- general functionality testing
- flagging/removing duplicates (there's a lot of them, as parsing CSDb wasn't always going smoothly)
- correcting data (same as above)
- adding missing artists, releases and events
- tagging (the collected data could and will be cross-shared with CSDb later, if it ever introduces the tag functionality)
- ripping graphics from various releases
- suggestions, ideas always more than welcome! |

Bugs: There many older releases if I filter for 2014. Even if an artist has a lot of pictures there's still no paging possibility.
Duplicates could be found by checking for duplicate csdb entry links, at least in some cases.
I must agree that it is easier to discover graphics releases than browsing for them on csdb. It might come handy to find test material to one of my c64 projects ;) |

Thanks for the reaction!
Quoting sociBugs: There many older releases if I filter for 2014. Even if an artist has a lot of pictures there's still no paging possibility.
Couldn't reproduce this bug, could you please send me a link? In case you mean the artist's profile page, it doesn't have pagination (and the images are not filtered). Should I add pagination and filters to these pages as well?
Quoting sociDuplicates could be found by checking for duplicate csdb entry links, at least in some cases.
Yep, the most obvious solution didn't occurred to me :) Duplicates removed! Or at least those that had the same CSDb IDs.
+Some other stupid bugs also fixed. |

Anything that makes the data more transparent/crossreferenced is useful. Added to the TODO list, thanks :) |

I am not sure again, but ...
if i am on a artist profile i see the "Event releases:" on the left side. The mouse pointer shows me that i could click on it. But if i click nothing happened.
Is this the way it should be? |
