Need Help with PHP

[frontalwarfare.com]

I'm completely new to PHP and i'm making a game called frontalwarfare, it is a FPS as well as it being a text-based game. So I need to know PHP/MySQL. All I know is

<?php echo "hello"
if $userlevel == 50 echo
"You are level 50"
else echo "You aren't level 50" ?>

 

I'm also designing two websites, well one I will hopefully design in the near future and the one i'm currently designing is called Battlefield of Freedom 1943, it doesn't currently have a domain.

Awesome, i am glad to see someone learning a new skill. I have a great video tutorial (like ten+ lessons with practice lessons and worksheets) from Lynda.com for php/mysql and i would not mind zipping it up and emailing it your way for free. Just PM me your email address. :)

No way you will make a first person shooter with PHP (FPS) or I misunderstood your acronym. As a FPS is 3D game... so I hardly see how you plan to do that with PHP.

Now, if you want to make a game, it's certainly something cool to do, and wish you good luck ;)

It uses python and php, the python for the fps and the php for buying guns, training players speed stuff like that.

Python running inside the browser? No way...

[frontalwarfare.com]

No, you download the FPS to play like a PC game and then in the the web browser you can train stats using PHP which affects the FPS by using MySQL.

What 3d engine you using with python?

 

I am guessing he wants a web store that updates his game.

I'm using Blender.

[a_bertrand]

Personally I would look into Unity 3D

I've tried it before and still have it but i didn't like it that much, I thought it was only good for the first person controller.

[a_bertrand]

Nope it's really great for any 3D needs which require to run either as standalone or yet better inside the browser. Now, it works well on mac and windows not yet on linux as far as I know. Also you can develop for iPhone and android or wii or xbox... which seems great for me. Far more powerful than blender.

[bluegman991]

Yes you can develop for any console now. But when developing for xbox,ps3,wii there is a publishing fee(somewhere around $10,000 usd), and the game has to be approved.

I thought Blender was a 3d graphics program? Not a 3d engine.

They are publishing licenses, they are actually development licenses which does not gaurantee your game will even be published. You have to find your own publisher.

So where can I learn PHP?

[Rory_M]

From me, but you denied.

[a_bertrand]

You may check php.net or any web tutorials. If you know Python it should not take you that long to understand PHP.

I will, thanks. :D

[frontalwarfare.com]

From me, but you denied.

Yes, but you said I had to pay.
