Text Based Game
 

i am wanting to make my own little text based game in php and i was wanting to see if anyone has ever done it before.

Moved to PHP Forum

I haven't, I was going to mess with it for a bit, but decided not too. It's really not hard though, it's basicly just taking user data, manipulating it here and there, and reading it again. Just try some simple database operations first, and you should be on easy street. You'll also (most likely) need sessions. Then other than the basic PHP skills, it's all planning.

would you have to refresh the screen every time the used made a "move". seems like that could be a lot of work. I have seen java applet and flash games before but not PHP.

Kingdom of Loathing is a PHP-based game. It works on click-based actions.

Kings of Chaos is another one.

Just go to google and look for php-based games.

excuse me for bumping the dinosaur... but sourceforge has quite a few projects that would help you out. Legend of the Green Dragon is quite a popular game. There are LOTS of browser based games, some of them are actually fun. I was working on one a couple years ago... but, I put it on the back burner until I have it planned it out better

See this thread.

Yes, loads of make games of all kinds in PHP. There is this really good site which gives you the game and then all the PHP code - Google it.

The above link is also quite relevant only it may take up a bit too much of your time just to find a PHP text-based game.

Connect 4 is often done in PHP as is hangman if you want generic examples...
