Rizzo Rocks

A site built to share my xbox captures over the years with my friends, and to have an excuse to learn Svelte

RIZZO.ROCKS

What is it?

It's a personal, hand-made site used to show off the Xbox captures I've taken over the years. It contains a mix of funny-things-that-happened, a side helping of cool-looking photos, topped off with a generous helping of me-screwing-over-my-friends-in-some-way (sorry Mike). It was also an excuse to try out Svelte, which morphed into using Svelte as the front end for a Laravel project.

What's with the design?

The first video game console I remember owning was the Sega Master System, and the design is a homage to the box art style it had.

It also struck me that the Mega Drive box art is pretty much the same, just in black, which made it perfect for a light/dark mode toggle, so I can pay homage to both!

Admin Note

To add/edit the games, captures, tags etc. I built a CRUD admin. I also created a 'game lookup' page that uses the IGDB API to find details about a game and then can pre-fill the game 'create' form. As this section is locked down, I've included screenshots below.
