I tried out your game. I signed up (but just used some fake email), made a character, and all seemed well. Then the game locked up or went down when I tried to battle a random opponent. Sorry.
From what I did see, it looked very clean and fresh, not cluttered and confusing, which I liked.

After closing the browser tab and trying again a few minutes later, I was able to battle people. The battle results are very confusing, but the concept is nice. :)

I'm very new here, so please excuse any etiquette infractions, but I'm very interested in learning how to create my own game. Would you mind sharing some info with me so I can get an idea of where to start looking in order to really start learning? For instance, did you build the game completely from scratch, or did you use a framework such as CodeIgniter, or did you use a game engine?
I've peeked inside the various folders and files of some open-source game engines on Github, but being such a novice programmer, especially when it comes to frame works and game engines, I get easily confused, lost, and frustrated. When I'm looking at actual code, be it PHP, HTML, Javascript, I can usually figure out what it's doing, but when all I see are calls to functions and methods and such on objects, some of which don't even seem to be located in the same file, that's when I start running into headaches.
I'm slowly learning the various languages, but the frameworks and such have me confused. Is there some sort of guide or methodology to navigating frameworks and game engines for beginners to use in order to learn?
Basically, some of the frame works and game engines seem so huge that they require multiple simultaneous pathways of mental processing, while as a beginner, I only have one or two pathways available.
