Hi,
I'm currently hooked on turret games. You build turrets and defend against creeps. A pretty old concept but fun as hell.
As I have no skills in Java or any suitable language I was wondering if you had ideas of how to do this with PHP or at least implement the idea and do a totally different game if needed.
I need some initial help in what I need to read up on and think about when wanting to do something like this.
Any other fun games you can do with PHP would be helpful. Like Black Jack, Hangman etc.
Thanks!
Game ideas?

Re: Game ideas?
You can create a game using PHP but PHP alone is not sufficient since PHP is more of a text processing. If you want to create a web-based game with graphics and animation, you might want to learn FLASH. But if you want to create a game like FLASH but dont want to use FLASH, you have to learn Javascript, CSS, PHP, and XML, combining them together it will be possible. I saw a mario game made from javascript but I never got to see the source code. Oh and the PHP game I created?, some boring hangaroo like game.

I was thinking that javascript was the way to go. I'm lousy at it though.it2051229 wrote:You can create a game using PHP but PHP alone is not sufficient since PHP is more of a text processing.

I've worked with Flash but is not the way I would like to go actually.
Thanks for the input.

You really need to know some serious JavaScript I would imagine.

I've only tried Java a little bit a few years back, so would be nice with a game idea which involves moderate amount of javascript...
Hangpapa and Black Jack I've done so far. Just don't have any good ideas.

I'd love to have a look at the code. Where did you get the images for the cards?

Can't remember. They were definitely Creative Commons licensed SVG files though...papa wrote:Where did you get the images for the cards?
