Introduction
The profile is where the player goes to change his preferences or edit their contact information. The whole design advantage behind the Absidon Games Panel is that I won’t have to change each feature on all of the games and only have one place to edit. Some features, I will have to add support to but the interface is going to be at the panel. Another reason for the Panel is to get more people coming to the Absidon Games web site and to promote the other games depending on which one the person is playing.
The profile will show the overall status of all the player games so that they will be able to manage all of their games better and perhaps join new ones. If the player hasn’t joined a game then there will be an option for them to join it. I’m not going to automatically join the player to all of the games, that would be wrong and cause bloat to the tables. The player will also have the option to delete the game and stop playing it or start over.

If the user doesn’t want to have to click the link every time then they will have the option of checking the box that allows them to do so. If the Sign In fails for some reason, then they will get the error message. The less steps for them to get into the game, the better.
#2
This a security feature that allows the player to restrict access to only a set number of IP addresses. I think I will wait on this feature because I will have to have a backdoor in case the users IP changes and they need to reset the feature. I was going to have it just for the games sign in but if they can get in to the profile then they can add their IP and then get in. I could make a password for the IP configuration but the user may also lose that. It would be nice to have this feature and I will try to implement it if I have time or later when I have nothing better to do.
