Browser Based Text Games

mattyk3001
Hi, I've seen alot of these and Sorry for putting up another one. I've been pretty interested in creating a Browser based text game and have seen all of the MC Codes Etc. But Looking through all the topics I haven't yet found how to start making one. The one think I've ALWAYS had trouble with is setting up a database for users and I'm guessing this has to be done first. Does anyone have a steb guide through the first stages or is anyone interested in creating it with me. Cheers in advance. Matt.

Matt, the first thing you have to do is getting some paper and start designing your game. You first have to know what you want before you can create your database and write the codes.
eg.
  • players: username, email, password, health, deaths, level, weapons, ...
  • game: min. 10 levels, a level consists out of ...
  • opponents: strength, health, at wich levels they appear, ...
  • ....

First you have to think about the game itself, it has no use to start writing and creating things without you know what you are creating, you'll only loose a lot of time because you'll have to change and re-create things you've done and need to be changed.

This is also worth a reading wink.gif

Get yourself the MCCodes. Edit the PHP codes. Host it and you get your own MMPOG. But my problem is, i cannot find the best free webhost. Already try lot of it. My last option is using astahost and see if it work with MCCODES tongue.gif

  12. Advice About Making A Text Based Game
    (9)
    I got my Astahost account in hopes of making a multi-player, online, text-based game in real time.
    What I need help with is the programming side of things, a little advice really. I talk to the
    maker of a similar type game that I play, and he suggested I learn PHP with MySQL and ASP, and I
    cant really remember if he said anything else. I have been playing around a little with PHP and
    only dabbled with MySQL, but I know nothing of ASP except that it stands for Active Server Pages.
    So basically, the advice I'm looking for is, what kinds of scripting/coding would pe....

    simple platformers, action games, etc. It is also very well supported and has many tutorials, so you
    always have help with the program. Also, all games made can be exported into Windows, Linux and
    PocketPC versions. The program is also avalable for all of these versions except the latter,
    PocketPC. The only downfall is that the Windows versions are only 30-day trials, after wh....

    Hey all! I was wondering what kinds of games you all have made or are working on right now.
    I'm also interested in what languages/software you used to make them. The most recent game
    I've made is Cannon Wars. It is a 3-D artillery game, similar to Scorched 3D . You control
    the angle and power of your gun and try to blow the other players up. After a lot of work I was
    able to add network support so you can play with people over a LAN. It also has a primitive Ai so
    that you can play against computer players. I wrote it in C++ and used Directx for the graph....
  19. Z80 Assembly

    Most highschool kids and some college have a TI-83(+) for math, so some of you may be interested in
    this. Basically, there are 2 languages for the Ti-83+. Basic and z80 assembly. Basic is easier, but
    asm is alot faster and more powerful. *note* With z80 assembly, you can make some realy awesome
    calculator games. Actually, z80 assembly is almost identical to the language used to program the
    gameboy. Anyways, Ticalc.org is a really cool site with thousands of games to download for the
    Texas Instrument calculators. Maxcoderz is a great programming group for the TI-83(....
