This document outlines front-end and backend development plans for a gaming website. On the backend, it includes adding features like allocating games to multiple categories, adding image categories, and translating categories and games. On the front-end, it details plans to develop modules for tournaments, sweepstakes, surveys, player profiles, leagues, and communities. It also describes updating pages for tournaments, games, and player profiles to include new elements like images, scores, friends lists, and messages.

1. Backend Data Input:
• Separate banner tags per site per game category.
• Allocate a Game to Multiple Categories.
• Add the ability to add game types and category for different languages.
• Image Categories, able to add multiple images:
o Game Icon
o Game Screenshot 1
o Game Screenshot 2
o Game screenshot 3
o Featured Tournament Block
o Featured Game Block
o Featured Tournament Icon
o Featured Game Category
Front End Development:
• Tournaments + Featured Games:
o Hot Tournaments – ticker tapes, rotation, images, etc
o Win Trophies, add standard trophy images, plus new trophies per
tournament.
o Top Winners – ticker tape or list display for the top winners from the last
3 to 5 tournaments, with avatars.
o Hot Jackpots – ticker tapes, text links or images. This would be used to
display the top 5 / 10 jackpots from tournaments that have the
progressive feature enabled.
o Featured Prizes – rotate and click through to tournament.
o Tournaments Calendar – include ALL tournaments from all sites. Allows
users to view al tournaments for each of the months.
o Players Leader board for most Pods earned by week, month or all time.
o Main Featured Game – have flexibility to display the Featured Game as a
larger image / flash movie, option to not have text, play count, game
name, etc.
o Featured Tournament, display larger image, option to format to not have
text, game name, etc.
o Quick Play – drop down with all the games
o Pending Challenges Board – display Player name, game + Pods on offer.
o Earn Pods – add the Pods icon next to games that are activated to earn
Pods
o Categories – Allow the configuring of what categories to be displayed,
auto add a More button, which displays all the categories in a drop down
list. Also allow to display Vertical or Horizontal in Module Settings.
o Able to structure game icon layouts and set backgrounds for the game
groups. This would give us the flexibility to display:
The current display options – text to the right
Just display the game image
Game image with text at the bottom of the image e.g.
www.iolgames.co.za
Plus also have the ability to set a unique border around the
game image, e.g. games.ktv.co.za
o Top scores by game by day or week receive Bonus Pods, we need to
look at assigning bonuses to players for the top scores, by game, week,
month. This is an admin function that would either have a feature to
pre-assign variables i.e. top score, top 3 scores, top 5, top 10, etc by
game or where we could do a search to manually assign bonuses to
users.
• Sign Up / Register:
o Join Bonus - Add the ability to credit 50 pods, etc when joining, specific

to be able to use multiple templates, as detailed below, to be able to
create unique content for each content typ. The functionality would be
the same as the current template, where we place the scripts and then
use the backend to configure with the relevant modules. The required
templates are:

completed

the modules - completed

General Development:
• Use Pods to Challenge friends, winner takes all Pods.
• Player Grading – star (pod) rating linked to game play, challenges, tournament
wins, etc. This info needs to be displayed when users challenge other users and on
the users profile page. The player grading should be setup as follows:
o % of tournaments won
o % of challenges won
o % tournaments won + % challenges won / 2 = overall %
o Apply star rating as follows:
0 – 9% = blank star
10 – 19% = 0.5 star
20 – 29% = 1 star
30 – 39% = 1.5 star
40 – 49% = 2 star
50 – 59% = 2.5 star
60 – 69% = 3 star
70 – 79% = 3.5 star
Page 5 - Private & Confidential SkillPod Media (Pty) Ltd Development Plan

6. 80 – 89% = 4 star
90 – 95% = 4.5 star
96% - 100% = 5 star

app works, but we need a quick way to rollout new games apps when we launch
new games

would require include:
