Preparing To Make A Online Text-based Game...

Curt200518
Hello Everyone, First off I would like to introduce myself...My name is Curt..im 21 years old and I a freelance computer tech...I have decided I am going to make my own Online Text-Based Browser Game..

Development is in very early stages...I am currently researching everything I need to know to Get it up and running and maintaining it..

I have found out that to make a good game I will need to learn PHP...I have chose this language because from what I read it is more common for this type of game...Luckily I have a good friend who Knows a good deal about the language..

I have a good knowledge of Html..I am currenly studing Javascript...

I have plenty of time to put toward this project and I plan to invest a good deal of my time into this. Im a quick learner so my goal is to study javascript for 30days...I should have a very good deal of knowledge by then....then I will move on to PHP...

I hope to code my own game from scratch..but of course me being a begginer I do plan on looking over differnt scripts aleady out there....I hope this will give me a good idea of things..

I have read through Text-based game section of the forums..not much else where..but i plan too...any way I have a good idea of how to get it set up.

I hope to learn as much as possible before asking my friend to help me, i dont wanna be a freeloader...

I will be in forums often...and let you guys know of progress with the game if you guys are interested...I plan to put alot of time developing the game and not rushing it...and hopefully this will make the quality of the game better...

I know the topic is a bit long but Im really excited about this smile.gif

Well the point of my topic is to let you know that a new developer is emerging from the shadows tongue.gif

Look forward to hearing from u guys...

well im back, after a month of learning html, javascipt, and php..i have come out a little smarter tongue.gif...lol

Since my first post I knew absolutly nothing about how the code works html, java, and php...but now i can look at a page and and reconize the fucntions of the code biggrin.gif....some coding is still unfimilar to me but for the most part I can tell whats going on smile.gif

How did i forget to mension Mysql...lol...ive been learning about that aswell...its all coming along very nice smile.gif

i downloaded a text based game "template" as you could say, just to get a good idea of how the games are set up. Im sure some of you guys have heard of Mccodes...lol...i hear a lot of negativety about it but it doesnt seem that bad...


I have been playing around with the coding for a few weeks now, i have fixed a few minor bugs myself tongue.gif..and im learning new things to do daily smile.gif

I coded a "back alley" type event myself...and it works !!...lol...its not real advance but it gets the job done smile.gif

Im continueing to study about html,javascript,php and mysql...all while working directly with the coding..this helps me alot cause i can change stuff and see how it effects the game..

I am going back to studying now..just wanted to drop by and let u guys know how im doing smile.gif

also if i wanted i could go online with the mccodes script right now, i have fixed and added enough but I wanna code my own from ground up...i know now that its alot of work...but i plan to do my best

ill check back here in a few days smile.gif

later everyone

    instrument player eg. a Bass player, a guitar player, a drummer, a singer etc. you can earn and
    improve your skills by practicing. You have to choose your playing style(metal, rock, death metal,
    trash metal, jazz etc. you can buy guitars, amps, pedals, processors etc. when you get good enough
    you can form a band with other players. you can than make your gigs, where you earn cash,....
  6. Renaissance Kingdoms

    take jobs, such as working in the mines, and eventually get some sort of field. It's certainly
    not a high paced game, as you only get one "action a day (e.g. you can't work in the mines and
    work at the Church within the same day) but as you get more well known you can get involved in
    politics (Become your towns mayor, or join your County's Council), become a robb....
