stuffradio Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hello, it may be my first post... but I thought I was registered here before. Maybe I was inactive for a long time. Anywho, I'm making a PHP Game Maker/Manager. It'll have the options to make, and manage different categories of games: Turn Based RPG Virtual Pet etc. Here is what I'm planning(thoughts so far) Have a master account, allow that master account to choose games to make from a drop down list. They will choose a name, and I will be trying to make it highly customizable. How I'm going to do this, no idea. What can you suggest to me, how can I structure this out efficiently, any tips? I will incorporate my own subscription manager. It will run through paypal. It'll be pay what you want, but don't know if I should make a $1 minimum. Also, I am trying to contemplate whether or not I want to have a flat file based databased of domain addresses... and make it so the user has to have it on that url on my file so they can't freely distribute it. All these things are out in there, and I want this to be a success. Any tips are appreciated!

All it requires is a form and MySQL database. It is hard enough to make a single game that is popular and people want to play. You are wanting to make at least three. I would suggest making a couple of games that you host, run, and manage before you even attempt to worry about creating a 'Game Management Software.'

stuffradio Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I already know how to make games.. that's not the issue. I want them to be highly customizable via classes and OOP. I need to have an efficient structure in my files and directories so I can make everything nice and customizable, etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74697-php-game-concept/#findComment-381587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Have you done any research into "data-driven design" or do you know what that is? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74697-php-game-concept/#findComment-381682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
