dnenb Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hey guys! I'm using mccode with MM and another script I bought with ME (see my signature), but I'm noticing more and more that I need to move to new coding standards. Many issues I'm facing while improving my games has to do with the fact that they're using old and deprecated functions, and this has me thinking that it might be worth starting from scratch. If I do so: What do I need to learn before I start? I want to do it object oriented, and I want a template engine so that players can pick between layouts. I'd be very glad if you guys could add to the list below and share your experiences if you've been in the same situation.

rjddev Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm currently giving Panther Skeleton engine a try, (That Sniko made) but then in PDO instead of mysqli. It is very easy to make own modules/templates, and the code is understandable. Panther Skeleton engine can be found here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor42 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Also when starting over from the bottom where exactly should you start? The way I think I'd do it is plan out the SQL's and create a DB etc. Then create a file to connect to the db? Then start with creating a register & login script?

HauntedDawg Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Also when starting over from the bottom where exactly should you start? The way I think I'd do it is plan out the SQL's and create a DB etc. Then create a file to connect to the db? Then start with creating a register & login script? You start with a business model. What functionality and story line your game is going to have. It's no use having a **** ton of modules and no story line. Have your story line in place, then you start with the basic DB structure for accounts, login data, and so forth. Then your script to your DB. The login & register, then any modules that are first in place in your story line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor42 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 As I thought. Thank you HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advocaite Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) If you really wanted to go with today's standards you could go zend2, synfony2 , yii2 or some other mature framework each with a nice learning curve some are steep. I would say Codeignighter too its most likely the easiest but there is issues with Ellis labs not continuing the project in hopes others will so it still has a lot of hope and its documentation is epic. also a good start is the concept and idea of game using normal paper is awesome for doing this. flow charts will help you with structure and organization once there and ready start coding it together.
