Sorry I couldn’t find a more specific title, but this is what I want to do:
http://solarimpulse.com/supporters_program/ this is the idea
http://imgur.com/TChEaFq <- a little concept draft, so u can get the idea better
http://imgur.com/0goh2Uc <- programming plan, sorry partially in german, but i think you will get it :)
1) Create a Matrix of single “solar cells”
2) link each cell to a paypal payment
3) once cell is sold, re-color the sold cell and add profile information of the user who bought the cell in a speech bubble
1. give the possiblity to register and buy
2. not register and buy, but add name to speechbubble, so even unregistered users will be shown on their bought cell
4) share your purchase on facebook twitter, etc.
Our team’s experiences in programming are rather in abstract bioinformatic datastructures and algorithms (c++, c#, java) and we started to use some php / html /css the last days which was pretty straight forward. we managed to create the matrix graphically, but don’t have a clue till now how to make the purchase account specific, save the data to a database, save the purchased cells, with user info, etc.
I can’t copy the whole source code, because the project consists of several files, but here’s an upload so you can get a better idea of what we’ve managed to do so far :

We now came to the conclusion we might have to get a better idea of javascript and mySQL to proceed in this project.
Maybe you guys can just give us some input on how to continue or have some tipps.
Sorry for the text wall, sometimes I just suck at being precise.
Thx in advance guys :)
