PHP - 2p Turn Based Game Crashes...
Hi folks,
If thought i finally managed to make a 2 player game with PHP and Jquery but i my whole computer gets stucked when the first player has gets his 2nd turn. What i basically have are 2 .txt files where both players units are listed. I will read this file into an array. Each unit has a speed key wich value increases when that unit has made an action, i write the new speed to the file and the script runs again. Heres the script that decides which unit goes first. Code: [Select] $time = 0; $found = 0; while ($found != 1) { foreach ($P1recruit as $p1) { if ($found == 1) break; if ($p1['speed']<$time) { $p1['speed'] = $p1['speed'] * ceil ($time / $p1['speed']); } elseif ($p1['speed']==$time) { $p1turn = true; $p2turn = false; $found ++; } } foreach ($P2recruit as $p2) { if ($found == 1) break; if ($p2['speed']<$time) { $p2['speed'] = $p2['speed'] * ceil ($time / $p2['speed']); } elseif ($p2['speed']==$time) { $p1turn = false; $p2turn = true; $found ++; } } $time ++; } Then follows all the HTML to build up the page. The player who has to act gets a form with choices to do with his unit. The other player gets "Opponents turn" in that window. So in the above code you see $p1turn or $p2turn gets true or false. This is for the Jquery script at the end of all the HTML to tell wich player needs to keep polling the unit files until theres a unit for him to act. Heres the script: Code: [Select] if ($p1turn == true) { if ($battle['player2'] == $_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) { echo " <script type='text/javascript'> function turnlistener() { $('#main').load('battlegetnextunit.php'); }; $(function() { setInterval('turnlistener()', 5000 ); }); </script> "; } } if ($p2turn == true) { if ($battle['player1'] == $_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) { echo " <script type='text/javascript'> function turnlistener() { $('#main').load('battlegetnextunit.php'); }; $(function() { setInterval('turnlistener()', 5000 ); }); </script> "; } } Now for the first player (the one who starts the battle) he can act properly. The next player can act, but he still is longpolling the .txt files as the form resets. If he acts withing the 5 seconds (setInterval('turnlistener()', 5000 )) the other player gets his turn again but my whole computer starts strugling and i'm not able to select anything in the form. Maybe it's like the players get double longpolling the 2nd turn. But i only have the last code once and obviously only 1 of 2 can run as either $p1turn or $p2turn can be true and it can only run for one player. What could this be? Is doing it this way even possible? I'm trying to figure this out for days now, i really hope someone can help me out. Thanks! Similar TutorialsHello, I am building an online game(users make a character and move on a map and so on...)
All user data is stored in a mySQL database and I want the users to interact in real-time, but there can be a 1-3 second delay between the communication, but not exceed 3 seconds even if 500 players are playing at the same time.
But for the purpose of the question let's say the users can only chat between one another, if I'll have a solution for that then I can use the same method for more parts of the game.
I can't use websockets because my webhost doesn't support it( I don't want to use pusher.com).
I know I can make real-time apps with ajax long polling, but I think that with 500 players playing at the same time it's not the best solution.
So, finally:
How can I make user interaction as close as possible to a real-time game?
(Without too much load on the hosting server)
(I am sorry if some of my terms are not correct - I am just getting back to coding after a long time...)
Edited by Mythion, 17 August 2014 - 02:34 AM. Hey guys, I am having a problem with making a system where it is turn based attacks. I want it so a user can attack a monster and the monster can attack back, the output I want is like. Code: [Select] You hit the monster for 5. The monster hit you for 7. You hit the monster for 3. The monster hit you for 6. and so on. I have been going at this for ages and cannot get what I want. I had problems such as: The monster attacking when it should be dead. Even when the monster was dead the user would still attack. This is the code I have now that is maybe totaly wrong, thats why I need your guys help! Code: [Select] $monster_hp = 10; $userhp =10; for ($i=1,$n=1; $i<=$monster_hp, $n<=$userhp; $n+=$damtaken, $i+=$damdone){ $damtaken = 1*rand(1,3) + rand(1,4) + 1 + 1; $damdone = 1*rand(1,2) + rand(1,2) + 1 + 1; echo "You hit the monster for $damdone.<br />"; echo "The monster hit you for $damtaken. <br />"; } The output for that is: Code: [Select] You hit the monster for 5. The monster hit you for 7. You hit the monster for 5. The monster hit you for 5. That is wrong due to the monster having 10 hp and I have hit him for 10hp overall. I know that thats because the echo is in the loop so it has to run but I have tried so many ways to get this to work and cannot do it. If I die, it should stop with the monsters attack and a message saying "The monster has killed you", if I win it should stop his next attack and say "You have killed the monster". Please help me guys, you have helped me before so I know how good some of you are. Thank you so much for anyhelp that is givin. Ruddy. I have a little experience in coding php and am wanting to code a browser-based RPG. (One of the click the link games). I know how to code the login, registration, player list, lost password, etc., but I have no idea where to start with coding the attack, throwing in random chance, strength, agility and so forth; stores, items, money, and so on and so on. Can someone help me? I'm working on a web based RPG game, and I want the ability to run different "servers" but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it would be.
First idea: Create a table which would be named, "world" when a character is created, they get to choose a world to join, and then use world_id to know what items, mobs, npc, is in that world. Here is just a quick mock-up of the table.
Second idea: Create a whole new database for the game data, creature_game contains the accounts and forum data. While creature_server_x contains the rest of the game. The structure of each database would be exactly the same.
I want the people that runs the different "servers" to be able to do whatever changes they want, even if that would mean to rewrite the story line. I could do it with both the first and second idea. But I want to hear about what people here think is best and why. Ofc, they won't be able to access or change the tables inside the databases, just the data the tables contains.
I am using a regex with /iumsU modifiers. On some servers this crashes PHP and I need to turn UTF8 off thus the modifier becoming /imsU I am wondering how can I detect the requirements for /u to work normally so I can dynamically adjust my regex?

Take this simple if statement: if ($_GET['thedate'] =='') { $var = date('l, jS F, Y',time()); } else { $var = date('l, jS F, Y', strtotime($_GET['thedate'])); } How could I put this into a function and in some kind of switch statement? Thanks How do I turn a checkbox on or off programatically? My form has several checkboxes that are grouped together and I want them to be turned on initially when the user first sees the form.I can do that very easily by just including "checked" in the HTML for the checkbox. But if the user turns off the checkbox before he presses Submit, I want to make sure I show the ones that are off as off when I redisplay the form as a result of errors in other fields, like textareas. How do I turn the checkbox off or on within my PHP code?

Thanks - and again, sorry for my lack of php knowledge. Hello Everyone, I have a quick question for you all, I think its fairly simple... I have created a database and I am using PHP to grab the data: $usera = $_SESSION['username']; $query2 = "SELECT * FROM tracker WHERE id = '$usera', hidden = yes"; mysql_query($query2) or die('Error, query failed : ' . mysql_error()); This hopefully will return multiple rows which look like this in the database. id username date reps hidden 1 supremebeing 2011-01-02 30 yes 4 supremebeing 2011-04-02 46 yes How would i turn each result into a variable eg: $date1 = 2011-01-02; $date2 = 2011-04-02; $reps1 = 30; $reps2 = 46; I think i have explained that well enough for you to understand, please reply if not though and i will provide more information. Thanks in Advance My web host wont turn on Curl.dll is there any other way to do this with out using Curl #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Curl code to store XML data from PWA in a variable #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ch = curl_init(); $timeout = 0; // set to zero for no timeout curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( 'Authorization: AuthSub token="' . $GDATA_TOKEN .

'default' : $_POST['action']; but how would i turn this if statement in to a Ternary Operator ? Code: [Select] if($a == $b){ echo 'hello'; }else{ //do nothing } thanks I think my eyes are going to fall out from all the searches ive made to find a solution for this that works on a shared host.
I tried this... but it doesnt work.
RewriteEngine on CheckSpelling onThe only Rough solution i got is to do the case manually with an internal redirect. Like this. RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /~quux/ RewriteRule ^foo\.html$ bar.htmlIs there absolutely no way to mention [a-z] and [A-Z] into a RewriteRule to get this done? I find it terribly stupid from Apache not to provide a simple solution for this. |
