yourdogisonfire Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I've been working on creating an online turn-based game where a new turn occurs every hour, and the amount of items such as resources (gold, iron, food, whatever) is changed when the turn changes, regardless of whether a user is online or not. I've played many games like this before (I guess falling under the PBBG genre), so I know this is possible, but I can't figure out how to do it, and I'm obviously searching for the wrong phrases in forums because I can't find a tutorial anywhere. I'm coding the game mainly in PHP, and using MySQL for the database. Any tips or links to tutorials would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
