Oh god Laravel, Just kidding I respect Frameworks
. But I'd rather write things from scratch, I think I learn better that way. The only framework I use on a consistent basis would be jQuery and I love it.
I'll update on this as I go, so far I got the ooc & auction to display. I can test this with p1999 log to see it parse in real time just to see there's no lag between the log file and the display. The 2nd part would be to brush up on sockets and telnet again.
