Help with writing project.

[fuzzman54]

I want to make something using php and it needs a mysql db. I bought a book to learn, but I just can't pick everything up at once. So I was wondering if the good people here could help me step by step so I actually learn and finish my project.

 

Basically what I want to do is use a combination of whatever I have to (HTML, PHP, MYSQL, etc.) so you can pick a card out of your inventory of cards, pick where you want it to go on a 9x9 board, run a mathematical handler to compare the card you put down with the surrounding cards previously laid down,  And depending on what the handler spits out, change certain surrounding cards.

 

It's a game called Triple Triad, and I'm trying to recreate it by myself to learn php and use the game on my website.

 

For the graphics, and part of the input, I think using radio buttons for each card and spot on the board would work. Like you click the card and the board placement.

 

For the cards I want to use a multidimensional array.. I think.

 

I don't really know where to start.. can you help me?
