bonne Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hey guys, I'm thinking of making a online text based game, I started to learn php some days ago but its going fast, tho I know im not ready to create a big game yet. I already got some questions: 1. How do I make a proper layout? I know how to split the screen in tables but then you got some sqaures and text and thats it, it doenst look good. 2. Where do I start? I need to make a register form and then all the things you can do; like in mafia games you can steal cars, buy drugs and stuff how do I make these things wich works with chance, like 0.1% chance to steal a car. So how do I start? Can someone make a list which I need to do? 3. Where can I find some tutorials related to making games with php and mysql? I know its maybe too much to ask, thanks anyways Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132964-my-online-text-based-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanWhitehouse Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 A text based game isn't simple, and if you don't know how to code in any web langauges then you have a long way to before you will be able to make it. Try learning HTML,CSS,PHP,MYSQL, and maybe JS & AJAX.

CSS is for the design, tables are not intended for website designs, and should only really be used if they must be. JS = Javascript AJAX = asynchronous JavaScript and XML Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132964-my-online-text-based-game/#findComment-691484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanWhitehouse Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I don't know, please read what i wrote when i said that, and stop asking pointless questions. This is a PHP help forum, not a forum for us to answer questions about how your game will be. You will need to find out where to use them.
