nut legend Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello, I was wondering if using PHP is the best language to make an online game like tribalwars (www.tribalwars.net, if itsn't what is. If it is could someone, if possible, explain to me how to make an online game using PHP.

Ken2k7 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 You'll need it but you won't make the game using PHP alone. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84627-solved-is-php-the-best-for/#findComment-431200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1313 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 PHP is probably the easiest to use if you wanted an online game, in turn of learning curve and other stuff, but no one is going to write you a tutorial for the entire thing because that would take a lot of time. But a good place to start would be here. http://forums.hostmatrix.org/showthread.php?t=3967 You'd also need to know things such as MySQL and JavaScript.

nut legend Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks alot, out of interest how long do you think it would take to make a game like with two people working on it, who understand html, my sql and abit of java script?

mike1313 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well it all depends really, coming up with the concepts of the game, characters, story, etc is probably the most time consuming. Considering the 2 people know what they are doing code wise that part shouldn't take entirely too long.

mike1313 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 It just depends of the skill level of the programmers involved really. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84627-solved-is-php-the-best-for/#findComment-431230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken2k7 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 It requires some clever thinking as well or this would seem really hard. Experience helps a lot here.
