You need an action. For example; file_name.php?action=action_name_here Just change the links or the default function to a menu -sniko

...Although, looks very promising (the template)

I think this point will be raised, so i might as well say it; - To make a decent profit/income you need to spend money. And i agree with chicka

Its a text based game and this is what - mainly - this forum is about. People do like these sort of games, are you looking for a partnership? If so, follow the template that has already been written up

.....or venture away from that whole mafia concept, unless you have some real good ideas, and i mean some real GOOD ideas.

Meh. I'd put it down to common sense :L

They could use the most sensible approach and just say what version?

From scratch :)

Best looking western themed template i've seen. You could make this into a really good game if done properly. Well Done! -sniko

Hey, I was looking at demotivational posters today, well this one isn't that demotivatinal but i found it really funny, so i thought i might share it.....

If you can make modifications for text based games, why limit your experience?

Hmmmm..... 1) maybe a new design for the login and then use that new design for the register? 2) Way to many ads once loggedin... 3) A story line, which is enforced in the game, for example: - include some characters that you can interact with - some 'missions' for those characters - +more 4) More features..... 5) Change from the default base things such as; - help tutorial - profile - +more 6) Once released, buy the [dot]com 7) Maybe some new stats for the user to use throughout the game 8) Make it more post-apocalypt, by that i mean; - would they have a bank, or something else? 9) Expand on current systems - the gang system - +more all that i can think of at the moment, but i do hope you make this project successful by thinking of all the things players want, and not just the money gaining side :) -sniko

I was earlier than my join date as i had another account but i forgot the passcode and my user got deleted, Ah well :)

if you lock them, how will the creators get feedback from newer members?

LOL at lucky3809's reply

Alternatives.... 1) As Dom said, attach it to your post. 2) Host it elsewhere. Visit Here for links. 3) Send over IM 4) .Zip it and send it/attach it to post. 4) Dropbox

I just put a header/style together (just an image) as I had some spare time. I hope you like it xD View Image -sniko

True that Peter. Also i noticed the staff aren't that active :/

welcome lostone. If you read the above post, then redirect your eyes to what djk said, it basically covers the story :p

are you allowed to use those images?

That's correct Djk.

This gang system has been a project for me for some time, something i want to share my achievement with the community. I don't wont to sell it, because it's a hobby and i want to share my success. I am making it better, if you read the PFD, you will know i am making more features etc. But, i'm glad for you that you have made another copy and gaining something out of it, i am also gaining something from releasing it for free. Pride and the feeling of success. -sniko

Alpha testing is basically only testing types of data (as well as checking for errors); - Normal data (data that should be accepted) - Extreme data (data that is on either side (lowest/highest) of the boundary limits) - Erroneous data (data that should not be accepted) Your basically testing the code to see if it works, so no members are required. Beta testing would require members as you are giving the product to those who don't know how the code works, so you can gain an audience view on it, as well as them finding issues that you would have probably missed, as well as gaining feedback on things to advance on. Overall, you could use xampp/wamp for alpha and then purchase hosting for beta. -sniko

Forgot to global maxTickets

<?php require "globals.php"; // //START Vars to Edit // $cost = 100; $maxTickets = 5; // //END Vars to Edit // if(!$_GET) { return index(); } switch($_GET['x']) { case 'buy' : buy(); break; default: index(); } echo "<h3>Lottery<h3>"; function index() { global $h, $cost; echo "The Lottery Centre! <br /> <i>Playing the lottery is a gamble, as you are playing against the odds for the big win!</i> <br /> » <a href='?x=buy'>Purchase a lottery ticket</a>... <br /> <strong>Cost per ticket:</strong> ". number_format($cost); exit( $h->endpage() ); } function buy() { global $h, $cost, $db, $ir, $userid; $query = $db->query("SELECT * FROM `lottery`"); $r = $db->fetch_row($query); if($ir['money'] < $cost) { echo "You are unable to buy a ticket as you don't have enough money <br /> » <a href='index.php'>Back Home</a> <br /> » <a href='?x=index'>Back to Lottery Centre</a>"; exit( $h->endpage() ); } $tickq = $db->query("SELECT * FROM `lottery` WHERE `userid` = ". $userid); if($db->num_rows($tickq) > $tick) { echo "You can only purchase ". number_format($maxTickets) ." tickets maximum! <br /> » <a href='index.php'>Back Home</a> <br /> » <a href='?x=index'>Back to Lottery Centre</a>"; exit( $h->endpage() ); } echo "Congratulations, You have bought a lottery ticket..."; $db->query("UPDATE `users` SET `lottery`=`lottery`+1, `money`=`money`-". $cost ." WHERE `userid`=".$userid); $db->query("INSERT INTO `lottery` (`id`,`userid`,`amount`) VALUES ('', $userid, $cost)"); $db->query("UPDATE `lottery` SET `jackpot`=`jackpot`+".$cost); exit( $h->endpage() ); } ?>
