PHP Game

[wignall6]

I posted this on another forum and i will post it here see if betterphp want to give it a try, i think you should do a PHP game. This would be great to get the community involved too because they can decide what goes on in the game and they can give comments on how it's played.

hmm, could be interesting I guess. No idea what the game would be on though

[wignall6]

Yeah, the community could come up with some scenarios and then they can be put into a poll and everyone can vote which is the best.

Yeah I think o saw this on academy too

I'v asked a lot of people who do PHP tutorials to do this one because not a lot have ever done it. I am onyl aware of thenewboston who covered it in his PHP tutorials.

Php game : rather open don't you think?
Would you want it all php, some Js in it (makes one play games more fun online...), and also what kind of "game" do you want here? a tutorial series to make the bare-bones of a game site/ just basic one player things?

Stop talking about phpacademy, I like pretending you all found this forum via youtube or something not just me stealing some of the more active members

Also, I decided I will do this as a project (IE an ongoing series) as it will be pretty long. It may also include some javascript and HTML type tutorials.

To go massively off-topic, would videos on javascript or html/css things be good ? Or should I stick with php ?

just basic one player things?

No fun unless it's multiplayer

It would be nice to see someone do something with Js without using Jquery

Well there are a fair few basic game engines out there worth a look. You could simply take one, and do a series on how to create a site from it... Or, even if you're planning to create a framework for a game site I would suggest it's open source since you don't seem to allow downloads of your code most of the time.

Stick to php. It makes you focus on bringing us high quality tutorials in php, instead of spending your precious time doing html tuts.
And also there is like a million html and CSS tutorials on youtube already

[bowersbros]

equally there are a million PHP tutorials there too

Although, since php is server side, they tend to be crap with security and such (and because it updates fairly often, they also seem to have become outdated to a certain extent)

JavaScript could be useful, its still programming-ish

Although pretty much everyone uses jQuery so maybe a bit pointless.

I would like to do one on how to use AJAX properly, not just setting innerHTML to the response

jQuery is popular, but there are still lots of people out there willing to learn JavaScript itself or who still use JavaScript normally. I definitely wouldn't consider it pointless
