PHP - Creating A Game Serverlist

Hello everyone and thanks for reading my request for help   I am working on a basic game where 3 - 5 images will be displayed on each page for the user to see (there should be about 5 pages), each of these images will have a value e.g. -1, +1, 0, -10, +12. When the user clicks on an image his/her score will change and the next page with 3 - 5 new images will be shown. When all of the pages have been shown and the user has a score of lets just say 20 or more then more pages will be displayed, if not then a new page will display stating that the game is over.     My question is how do I give each image a value and how do I show a new set of images based on the overall "score" of the player after the first set of pages have been shown? And is there a way to display the players score on the page?   Thanks and any answers will be appreciated. If you know of any videos which may help please tell me :-\

Haven't done much in PHP for a while, and as a refresher and a bit of a challenge to myself I have decided to write up a simple game of sorts.

Basically in the game I have townships, every play has their own town. And I want these towns to have events every 3-10 hours, and have these events have results such as births/deaths/fires/flooding/etc.

At the moment I'm looking at this kind of setup:
A database table with the city information.. city_id, city_owner_id, city_name, etc. I figure I can make another field such as city_nextevent and fill it with a timestamp plus a random number of seconds. then when the user views their city if city_nextevent is older than current time then run the event function and set the next event time.

In my head this idea seems to work well, until I realised that if the user doesn't log on for 20+ hours the events will not stack, they will only get the one event when they next view their town when several events should have passed. I realise I could use a cronjob to check all events across all towns, but is there a better way of doing it.

I had also though about adding several fields to the database containing say the next five event times, then updating each field after time had passed. Which gives more events if the user has been offline for 20+ hours. So if the play was offline for say a week, their town would pretty much dry up until they returned.

Basically, I want their town to run while they're offline. But was trying to avoid using a cronjob.

Anyone have any thoughts on how this could be done?

Hello Everyone,

I am using some code for a hangman game.  It is written in PHP.  I am using code directly from this website http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet267046.html and am having issues with it.  I have the php file on my web server, and I also have a words.txt file on the server as well.  However, I am getting errors, and the game also automatically says "you win!" even when entering just one letter.  I'm not sure what is going on, as I am using the exact code from the website.

Here is where the file is located: http://www.littlehousegardening.com/hangman/hangmanfinal.php

Errors I am encountering:

how would you code a map for a browser game like travian? i know how it works but i cant code that sort of stuff.
ive got my database set up like this

x  y  player
1  1
1  2
etc....

so i when you click an arrow it will got to the next square along.

Can someone point me to a layman's tutorial for a simple hangman game?

I downloaded one off the internet, but it doesn't do what I want. The one I use doesn't allow capitalized letters or spaces! I can live without the capitlization but MOST of the words will have spaces and therefore, this code will not work.

I want to start a brand new code from scratch but I can't seem to figure it out. I am new to coding and have been coding my site using MySQL, and that's fine, but ALL of the coding for hangman is very confusing for me!

That is the code I am using now. The connect to the database and rewarding the user when they guess all the letters work fine, but I need for my other details to be in there and I have NO clue how to do that. I've tried a lot of things but everything just screws up.

Here's the code I have now that is from scratch, and it's very basic. I really have no freakin' clue where to go from there.

Code: [Select]
<?php

$words = explode(";", file_get_contents('words.list.txt'));

shuffle($words);
    
$word = $words[0];



$upletters = array('a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m', 'n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z');

$lowletters = array('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M', 'N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z');

echo $word . "<br>";

$word1 = str_replace($upletters, ' _ ', $word);
$word1 = str_replace($lowletters, ' _ ', $word1);

echo $word1 . "<br><br>";


echo "<form action = '1.php' method = 'POST'>";
echo "<input type = 'text' name = 'guess' size = '10'>";
echo "<input type = 'hidden' name = 'word' value = '$word'>";
echo "<input type = 'hidden' name = 'word1' value = '$word1'>";
echo "<br><input type = 'submit' value = 'Guess!'></form>";
?>

Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction! Or give me all the functions I need to use to get through this!

Thanks in advance.

so i have an idea for a system that basicly shows a swf, how to play, and description all managed by sql.

the url would be like: "www.example.com/play.php?id=531"

my sql table would be like this:

___________________
id      name          swfname             description                                              howto
1      example      ex1.swf               destroy your enemies with your gun          mouse to aim, click to shoot
2      example2    ex2.swf               race your friends with this new game!        Arrow keys to move. Space to use powerup.
________________

I need help creating a system that looks at the id provided in the url, then grabs the information in the sql and broadcasts the swf, and posts the title up top and the description and howto below.

anyone have any idea how to do this?

OK so i am having a little trouble putting guilds in my game, everything shows up but when you go to create a new guild it say can not update player stats, but it shows up that the guild has been created in the top guild list, it just doesnt let you use it here is the script could someone tell me if they see a problem

I am supposed to create a guessing game in PHP that uses sessions to store a random number between 0 and 100, along with the number of guesses the user has attempted. Each time the user guesses wrong, display the number of times the user has guessed. And a give up link that displays the generated number for the current game.  I have been working on this for a week and I can't figure it out.  Any help would be appreciated.
Here's my code thus far:
game.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION["randNum"])) {

    $_SESSION["randNum"]=rand(1,100);
}
$randNum=intval($_SESSION["randNum"]);
?>

<html>
<body>
<center><form action="game_check.php" method="POST">
Guess a number 1-100:<input type="text" name="userGuess"/>
<input type="submit" value="Guess"/>

</form></center>
<center><form action="game.php">
<input type="submit" value="Restart"/>
</form></center>
</body>
</html>game_check.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["randNum"] = $_POST["randNum"];
$userGuess=$_POST["userGuess"];

if (isset($randNum)) {
    if ($userGuess<$randNum) {
            echo "<center>You guessed too low!</center>";
        }
    if ($userGuess>$randNum) {
            echo "<center>You guessed too high!</center>";
        }
    if ($userGuess==$randNum) {
            echo "<center>Congratulations You're right!!!</center>";
                         unset($_SESSION["randNum"]);
    }
}
else {
    echo "Uh oh";
}

Hello,
I am trying to create a simple game random number guessing game in PHP.
Currently, I have an HTML page with a form on it where the user enters a number.
Then when the user clicks the submit button on the form, their number is passed onto the second page.
On the second page, I have some PHP code that generates a random number between 1 and 20, then it checks to see if the two numbers are the same.
If they are the same, it says correct.
If the guess is higher, it says so.
If the guess is lower, it says so.
I also made it display a form to re-guess the number (if the initial guess was incorrect).

The problem I have is when the user attempts to re-guess the number. Whenever the user attempts to enter a new guess, the random number changes.
I want to make it so that the random number stays the same as it is.
Any help?

Here is the Code for the first HTML page:
Code: [Select]

Here is what I have so far on my website, you can see it he
http://joshkautz.com/phpNumberGame/phpNumberGame.html

I think I included everything necessary for people to give input, if not please let me know and I will give more information!
Do I need to redo things completely?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton!

Hello

I am making a game trading web application for class.

Here are the requirements:
You must be able to register and log in, you must be able to list games you have to trade and games you want, you must be able to search users that want games you have and users that have games you want, you must be able to accept and make trades, on trade finalization screen you must be able to rate user 1-5, view the users shipping address, and leave a comment on the users page.

You do not have to be able to view other users pages, but on your home page you must be able to view your average rating.

I am the most advanced programmer in my group so this has been a little tough.

I have a login page and a registration page, I have a user home page, a add games page, a view feedback/ratings page, and a my games page where you can delete games.

What I'm stuck on is the page that allows you to search users by games they want and games you want, and the trade finalization page.
On the search page I would like to combine the functionality of searching for users with games you want and games they want with the ability to make a trade offer. The way we have it drawn up is using radio buttons to select either show people with games I want and show people wanting my games. When one is selected it will populate a list of usersnames in a drop down menu that fit whichever choice was made. We drew up four list boxes that populate lists when we select a user name, one box populates the games they have, one populates the games they want, one populates the games I have and one populates games I want. We want to be able to select game titles and move them to a list box of games I want and another to a list box of games willing to trade, lastly a submit offer button.
We are debating on if this is the best set up given the requirements needing to be met. I think there is more here than what we need, we have 1 week to do this and I am doing all the programming so I am looking for the easiest way to search users that want games I have/have games I want and display the results giving me the option to select games to trade and make an offer.
We are also arguing on if we have to use JavaScript to do this or if it can all be done within php.

The trade finalization page would have a drop down menu where you select the user name of completed trades and upon selection lists will be populated of games they gave, games I gave and the address to send the game. It will also have a form where we can rate the user and leave a comment.

This page I need help with cause again we disagree on having to use JavaScript or not.

We are using phpMyAdmin and the db tables we have a
tblgame - list of games I have added
tblgamestatuscode - gives game a code that determines if it is wanted, to trade, or traded
tblmember - member registration
tblplatform - platform the game is on (Xbox, Xbox 360, Playstation2, Playstation3, PC, and Wii)
tbltransaction - date traded and a status change code
tbltransactiondetail - gameID and trans ID
tbltransactionparty - memberID, transID, rating, comments, status change accepted

We are also using adodb.

Please help if you can. I will gladly give more information if needed.     

Hi!   I was assigned to create a simple php game as a part of my grade, but i got stuck. I'm not really a php expert and this isnt really working. I managed to get some of the code/game working, but it's pointless imo. I'm looking for someone who would take 3 mins and fix this code for me. The game is called "Random number guessing game." From the title you can see that the game is not really complicated.   Code:  

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>


<h1> Ugani Random!</h1>


<? php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
$x = $_POST['x'];
$num = $_POST['num'];


$x = rand(1, 10)
if($num<$x)
{
echo " Your number is higher! "<br />
}


if($num==$x)
{
echo " Correct! Press Reset to try again! "<br />
}


if($num>$x)
{
echo " Your number is lower! "<br />
}


?>


<p>
<form>
<input type="number" name="quantity"> <br />
<button type="submit" value="<? echo $x?>">Submit</button>
<button type="reset" value="<? echo $num?>">Reset</button>
</form>
</p>

Hi
I'm attempting to learn more advanced PHP, such as OOP and the integration of XML, by making a browser-based version of the old Richard Garfield card game "Netrunner". I have a few years experience with pretty basic (bordering on intermediate) PHP. I've done some very basic coding for the game with PHP forms and I've researched some OOP (classes, objects, methods, etc.) but I'm not finding the beginner tutorials that I need. Everything I find has terminology and code that is beyond me. Does anyone have any book or website suggestions for me? I've tried the PHP online manual, but even that throws in advanced stuff all over the place. My goal is to better learn how to use PHP (because I've already put time into it) to create browser based games.
Many thanks,
Andy

I have just did this php code for the high-low game but the $tries variable always goes down to 0 when I refresh..Can someone help me to return the $tries to browser with the url? Thank you

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?
