I'm made a pretty sexy engine (if I do say so myself) for my own game, but after months of release it only hit 100 players. 20 of which were bots. So it was a failed process. I was gonna push the project to github to let people learn from it, but I completely forgot to it. Point being, I saw these engines and said. What the hell will I learn buying someones stuff. I took a few months and made my own. You learn a lot more and fixing bugs in code you wrote is a helluva a lot easier than learning someone elses code, which usually sucks and isn't well documented.

Its still a salted hash though. Unless you have a rainbow table of that hash then your outta luck.

Started using Smarty. Always have. It has its downsides, but once you master and learn Smarty it can be used very well. I have also used my own classes, that just simply str_replaces() vars and isn't very powerful.

Huh? It was a game about 4 years ago using the mccodes script. I remade the game using my own engine to the best of my knowledge. The game is very much there and very much real.

Just thought I'd crime in that were still here. Were not a little startup that makes a game then abandons it. Had a rough time when all of us were starting classes again, but were back in the loop. Things like -Hacking -New Balanced Fighting code -Gym Were added and lots of bugs were fixed. I've been coding a DEMO mode now, so you can just click a button and play as a player whose stats don't save. So users can play before registering. If anything just join and critique the hell out of the site. I thrive on criticism, and I love hearing other opinions no matter how bad. Join us in the in-game chat or in Freenode #soulraider

lololololololol. Some staff should remove it. Someone mean is gonna jack his stuff.

To English? or away from?

I never said you didn't. I just dislike the fact that this is how 90% of my encounters with new IRC users is.   [7:19]<doktors13> hi any1 here??? [7:21]* doktors13 has quit (Client Quit)   I don't live at my computer. Give time for users to comment.

I sit in my own game's channel Freenode #soulraider I'll help people out, but not "how do you do this?". If you show an effort of trying, I'll help. Also, its IRC. Not a web chat. Wait for an anwser. Sometimes it might take a few hours for me to get back to the computer and respond, but I will in time.

Sounds like a good idea. A good unbiased site for reviews of various games. Keep me updated on how it goes.

He doesn't re-use the microtime, he stores it as a salt, and re-uses it.

Milk meh boyss.

Append this wherever the link is. I looked briefly over the code, and didn't see what link you were referring too. Make sure you end the string with ", then use the dot (.) to append the php part on. The simply restart the string with ", unless its the end.   . "\$". number_format($jackpot) .

.... Well, I'd say you've got some work to do. The act of "uploading" files to a host can probably be summarized as FTP. Which is as far as I'm going to explain. You got a lot to learn. Who is your host?

If you get a huge crowd on that engine fast. I'm going to be building tons of add-ons.

Don't use don't trust em. If you plan on making a game, you can start with a simple 2.95/monthly shared hosting account. Once you exhaust those resources then you can step up. Free hosting has soo many problems. 1) The limits imposed on you. 2) The downtime. 3) Lack of features. 4) Some force ads into your code.

Whats there to talk about? The site got hacked. The code in my opinion looks like it was made in 1990. Its old and out of date. It doesn't seem to follow any php model I know, and mixes php and html non-stop. I even see places where queries are taking place with direct $_GET and $_POST responses, which is just a no no for security. (However, maybe $db->query() runs checks on that query, but either way the code is not good). 6 years ago I believe thats when this domain was created and McCodes started. I played lots of games that were made off this engine and it was great. I never knew the "backend" of how mccoddes operated, just that it was used a lot back in the day. However, times have changed. A few years in college allows me to see the truth to this engine. Its 6 years later and people are still buying an out of date bad thing. My personal opinion. Don't buy it. Don't run it. Get as far away as possible from it.

jQuery Mobile is your best option. You can make a footer/header pretty fast then just blow up the content with seperate templates. Works really well. I don't have time for any custom projects, but make sure you go towards jQuery mobile. 'tis the best in my opinion.

Its clear the product is dead from support and what not. If your demo site remains in the "hacked" state for 2ish weeks now you have no company or support anymore. Tis sad. EDIT: I see at least the defacement is gone. I stand corrected.

jQuery Mobile is my choice of mobile development. Its native support for every mobile phone is insane. It does though lack in parameter passing via ajax, but I'm sure you can think of something else up. Its pretty good and its what I'm using to development the mobile version of my site. The listviews/buttons and sliders are very helpful.

Securing is as easy as building a good framework. None of this random thrown together files. For example. If you want to grab a GET/POST variable make a function in a main class called grabPOST($name),grabGET($name) then you can run all the needed cleaning in that function. So then throughout your code you will have this $this->grabPOST('user_id') etc code every time you want that var and you can adapt your entire game by changing one function. Obviously thats a weak function, I'd probably add a parameter called $type to it. Then pass like int/string/alphanumerical and then based on that, filter alphanumerical, intval(), etc. Thats one little thing, theres tons more. If you have any place where you have a mysql query with the vars $_POST or $_GET in them (or even $_SERVER) fix that right now. You can easily change POST/GET requests and essentially sql inject your site.

I didn't mean to bash anyone. Usually people start with a language by like reading w3schools and examining other users code. Github can be great for that. You can learn quickly from others sources (just don't steal). I just thought it was funny about that question. Most, if not all of these questions are simple google searches away. Theres nothing wrong with asking question, but eh some people get annoyed with em. I just thought you gave no effort at all, because you knew how the rand() function worked, but then you couldn't figure out how to get a static number to work? You probably didn't test anything. You will learn eons more if you test instead of having people tell you. Plus you'll enjoy it more, actually knowing how things operate and run.

lololololololol. Quite simple stuff.
