Dayo Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 i am in the prossess of upgrading The Mercenary so the whole ingame/login/register is done/loaded via JQuery so the user never has to reload the page, what do you think of a game being built this way are there any problems you can think of, all i can think is if they have JS disabled but then again who in this day and age has it disabled?

Dayo Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 yes i agree with the back button, but ive been developing this game for several months now and i cant ever remeber using the back button, if you played the beta you would know why you woiuld never use the back button ;) but maby thas an idea i can add to the game the feature of back and foward buttons :) once ive fixed the forms on a few of the features ill send you the link to check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishraq Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I love Jquery and Ajax. I think it makes a game look cleaner. And there is a way for users who have it disabled. For those users the page will load normally and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djkanna Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Never been a fan of using ajax this way, it does provide some usability issues(as SRB stated back/forward buttons). Forms (for error feedback), maybe checking for new notifications to provide to the user, chat systems are all good uses of Ajax, but I don't think full site no page refreshes is good, I think you could get away with using ajax to have your landing page switch between pages like story or about, or even login and signup (well I hope you can anyway), but in-game don't see much use.

Dayo Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 i have added the feature to use back and foward buttons on the game that will be easier to access then the browswer features IMO :) It will be easier for me to show you what i have done/why im doing it this way so if im finished tonight ill post the link for closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickson Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 My personal opinion doesn't like it. Any sort of javascript can be good, but it shouldn't be too much. Disable it within your browser, is your game still playable? Good. If not well then there is an issue.. Yes I know most devices support javascript these days, but that doesn't mean I have to like the usage of it. It's good as extra value, but not as a standard value.

a_bertrand Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would tend to say it all depends what you want to make. Some things simply cannot be done without JS. Now if it's just to make some "nice" effects stay away as it is not useful, but if you tell me you want to make a 2D or 3D world with live updates, then good luck without Javascript.

Dayo Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 No it's not 2/3D but I'm trying to be imaginative with TM and do things differently then most text based games and I've not seen one game that is laid out this way you will see why I want it all JQuery when you see the design and some of the features that will be coming soon ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
