maybe it's just me... map making question.
Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2015 3:34 pm
I am attempting to create a Travian like php mysqli html browser based game. I plan to start the player with their own planet alone in their own solar system, then expanding outwards from there as they colonize planets and develop the technology for interstellar flight. that part I am good on. the issue that I am having is the universe map... is there a way to simplify making that map or do I have to code each solar system in separately? I want to end up with the travian map that only shows solar systems that the player has explored... I want to make this as realistic as possible so naturally fog of war is a necessity on the map. I have done w3schools tutorials which were great at the basics... I watched several tutorials on youtube (informative but not exactly helpful). I have searched thru blogs and forums with no luck. can anyone help with some key words I should be using to search or maybe someone out there has an answer to my question.
simplified question... how do you make a world map like on travian where I don't have to code each solar system in separately?
thanks in advance for any help.
