Hi there, now ive read many posts on people asking for help on how to make a text based game, i'd like to make one myself and I know some PHP and MySQL to go for it.
Ok that out of the way, the programming languages going to be used for it will be PHP and MySQL (if you've not already guessed that) I'm just looking for some help and stuff like that to get me on my way, im a complete beginner to this whole text based game stuff, sooo any help would be appreciated thanks! PS: dont say go to MCCodes or anything, that website is just a bunch of kiddies making some buggy codes  -Mico |

Yeah, i've seen this before but had a bit of trouble with the getting your codes part, everyone seems to be saying that MCCodes are a load of rubbish, does anyone know where i can get any others? i've searched for hours on end and just thought about giving up but then was reminded how much work ive done researching already, sooo...anyone know anything?

You can increase your PHP, mysql and alot of more programming language knowledge through one of these sites:
http://www.tizag.com/phpT/syntax.php <--basic http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_ajax_intro.asp <-- better than the previous one Also if you want to make a game you have to know how to design it, http://www.maketemplate.com/ <-- generates CSS files and you can understand what each code does by changing them, also you can just input colors and fontsizes and generate what you want. As for helping you in your game if you can offer a general idea on what your game will be,example turn based, war game, strategy game... maybe i can help |

Also have a look at the "similar topics" below this post, this is a very nice feature of astahost forum. You will see that there are already a lot of topics concerning text-based games, some of them have already received a lot of answers.

QUOTE(willielwgg @ Oct 25 2008, 05:25 PM)  I know there is one that you can run and MOD yourself. It's called phaos. Can you tell us a little bit more about phaos ? Do you use it ? How does it work ? Shall we connect to a website and do it online, or is it a software you download from the master site ? Can you please give us the corresponding URL ? Yordan |
