Questions to ask yourself: 1. Dose each location need a specific and different HTML template ? or you could just use one Template for all? 2. The location have sub locations ? such as hotel bar, Cartier ? 3. Do you need to load all locations in one session ? Can you alternate them with Ajax, jquery post ? 4. Do you need to edit the data locations ? Or just read the content ? If your average answer is yes. Then go for DB without hesitation. Inner join is better then open, load, read and link multiple files. Not to mention if you want to edit one you have to load all the data page ( assuming it's xml, for reading you don't need to load all xml file witch is plus for file ); It's strongly recommend to use Ajax to reduce the load and process request from server. go for DB mate.

strip tags before strlen :))

strip tags before function ;)

Thank you, I will try some variations and maybe I didn't choose the right font for the logo ( I was thinking for something like Mario game font ). Anyone have any suggestion for a font that will blend better on logo? I tried to make the text warp on the cape to give it wind motion but doesn't look readable.

Your moving slow. Why ? Because your working blind. First find an idea, make a small plan, pin some goals, and then start the hard work. I deeply appreciate your effort for coding a game from bottom to top. But to me you sound like wining and not like passion driven. "Why reinvent the wheel ? When you could just improve the one already made." Metaphoric speaking. Good luck, and can't w8 to play your mystery game. @the best way to prevent copyright issues and work rip is to make your work known. Like posting in forums. So watermarks is not a big deal. Trust me if someone wants your stuff will find a way to take it.

^^ The background is from net. :)) MyOneHandHero :)) love it

Thank you. Now I have a link www.minihero.com

Useful, thank you.

I just finish reading "Mobile Design and Development" by Brian Fling. Wonderful book it kept me wake all night. After I finish it I took my old agenda and start reading it again, I had at least 20 good ideas that I started and somehow got killed in the process. I was stunned knowing that if I had finished one idea that I had ( at that time ) I would be far away from poverty. Not to mention my dream car etc. So I got the pen and start writing some more, hopping this will keep myself motivated from birth to maturity of this new Project called "Mini Hero". The most challenging project I say ( for me ).

get an editor that supports find and replace. find "<?" and replace-it whit "<?php" . also find <?= and replace it with <? echo ..... Done.

Look's cool. Thought The shadow's are kinda strange, also the hand might need some retouching .

There's no function in php 5 that's called delete(); in php you can't call a function without "()" . javaScript can.

I tested your code and it works fine. Try before switch statement a print_r($_GET); and a echo $_GET. I'm think the problem is not with the switch, try a lowercase exercise.

Steal, Study, and work. Throw trial and error you will succeed. I recommend ww.freehostia.com for a free host. ( no ads ) + cpanel ( slow and limited mysql server ). You can call this layout a "wire-frame" for your upcoming game because it's kind '90 style. Dark colors work with orange gamma. Hot Red and no Purple gamma!. Purple works fine with green gamma. Learn the color theory. And encourage yourself to push forward using more detailed design approach. You respected the "keep it simple stupid" rule. One of the best I say. Good luck :thumbsup:

U mean something like mmogame.com ? Your idea is great.

Boss decided to leave the lock ON until the same user logs in and close it. disappointing, but can't argue deadline is close. Thanks for help.

About the application It is an local network application designed to keep track for jobs, contracts, employees for a car service center. The work-flow of the aplication looks like this: Operator - Opens/Creates a client ( session starts ) - Mange specific -> automobiles / contracts / technicians and engineers that will execute operations ( time based, stock, form prints and form tracks etc... ) - No selection ( no open session for client) - Mange global -> all clients / all contracts / all .... stuff The front language is Romanian so theres no point to send a test link. Usually theres 3 - 4 operators online + admin that has the live feed of the operators actions + rapport & notifications. They all support javascript and there all in the same department. "much easier would be for them to shout "hay fagot you forgot to logout!" but thats not professional. I just can't visualize how to execute a script server-side without the user request. Cron would be a grate solution but I have access only to myphpadmin, witch is rely frustrating. . I will print some code later so you guys get the real big picture

is there a way to specify unload to trigger when the user only closes the page ? I might use it to active an ajax request so I can run a php script to remove the lock. I tried it but it actives when the user leave the page. I didn't find any fluid solution so I created a temporary one. If the users closes the browser without logging out, the other user can force the access ( removing the lock and notifying the other user " if hes on-line" that he lost the privilege and can regain them by reconfirm presence" ). It cost me 1 extra table column, 1 ajax function to check periodically if the lock has change and to notify, and 1 function for request (force access) .

I'm stuck and I need some help. I have 2 tables (mysql) 1. Table "Common" ------------------------ | id | name | temp | |---|--------|-------- | | 1 | test | 92348 | |---|--------|-------- | | 2 | test | 98989 | |-----------------------|   2. Table "Users" ------------------------ | id | login | sid | |---|--------|--------| | 1 | test | 32434 | |---|--------|--------| | 2 | test | 98989 | |-----------------------| | 1 | test | 92348 | |-----------------------| I need to protect the table rows from "common" based on the user actions. More clearly I need to grant access per turn to each row. For example user 1 access table row 1 form common, the user 2,3... can't access it ( to prevent overwrite ). The way I thought it is to set a flag in the common row like the id of the user that currently access the specific row. When he finish working on it remove the flag. Works fine until the user closes the browser and forgets to logout. Haw can I remove the Flag ? If the session is over.

@crazyt.co.uk :thumbup: Thumbs up! But the logo doesn't blend to well with the theme.Still looks greate :thumbsup:

:D I strongly recommend http://www.mediatemple.com and http://www.2advanced.net best hosting ever. period.

Sooner or later, the forum will focus only on MCCodes. :thumbdown:

Therefor you have to start with the USER, you can't just guess what future's will entertain and capture THIS USER or THIS ONE. If your referring to Users that play this particular CRIME STYLE GAME, witch basically there all the same with a different approach. Then you simple know that the user needs can be "to control, being a boss and attitude" most of inspiration comes from real life. Who doesn't want to be a gangster like "in the movies" driving fancy cars, babes and money. So the real need is "USER VALIDATION". Based on this discovery you can build a successful game. Know what age and how the user interacts with your game are some principles to, I always ask my girlfriend to test my application and to give me feedback, then I discover how USER interacts with my app, if he likes navigating with the arrows or mouse, does he love drag and drop etc...
