I have two suggestions for you Alex,
1-1. you can just sit down and start brainstorming on what your game(s) will
take to operate the way you want, just make a note pad document, if your fairly
good, as you write things out you will think of other things that are needed to
make it all work.
1-2. then start a flow chart of sorts, a blow by blow list of the actual way
it's to work, "I enter this room, I get the description of the room and what is
in it, I type in >>> to do this in the room, then I type in yyy to..." so on
and so forth, this will both make it clearer what you need the game to be able
to do, and you will think of things that you didn't get the first time around
(the first list above).
1-3. then you start coding the game, if you don't know how to do a "while loop"
or can't figure out the method of retrieving an item stored in the database for
the program, then you come here and ask a specific question about that problem.
and someone out here will do there best to help you.
or you can:
2-1. go find a free source game, like black nova traders.
2-2. take it apart, study how they did there version of the assorted things and
how the modules all interconnect.
then 2-3. start rewriting the code you have there to suit your needs (the lazy
programmers method), or use the knowledge to write up your own modules that do
it the way you want it to (the better programmer route).
when your done with either of these, you will have from half an idea to the
whole idea of how to write such a game. and can continue on to write others
if your still inclined to.
laters,
inthane

uh. a mud would be best. for typing things in. I really don't see people
typing in forms over and over.
As for php and mysql, there is some docs on it in the php help files.
Thanks,

Alright maybee i didn't think about what i said. Words i meant the old
text adventures and i want to create text adventures and little web games but
am still trying to figure out how i can make php interact with a mysql db. So
those are the 2 things i want to do text games like those old games from the
80s where you type in what to do, and webgames where you navigate with links.
Thanks,
Alex

navigate with words. does this mean like... links?
This won't be that hard to do. If you know php, like you told me...
Anyway, use MYSql to store the user's info.
Then you can create modules and etc for each town, store, or w/e. As
long as you build a pluggable module system.
Thanks,

Well an online game where you create a player and go through
adventures and fight other players. Written in php or a text adventure where
you read a description of where you are and you navigate with words.

alix. I'm not going to visit those. I've handed you docs tutorials
and now a copy of winmoo with a database. Why don't you just tell us what you
want. I've got a ton of stuff to do rather than sit around going to websites
trying to figure out what it is that you want.
If you want to be a programmer, something you need to learn is how
to be more eloquent with your request.
You will more than likely get help, but it saves you and us some
time as well as much irritation and frustration if you can learn to tell us
exactly what it is that you want to do.
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield.

There is one you can look up under google. just type in
mud creater its a prety neet thing to play around with. It lets you build a
complete game but not sure the ruels on hwo to get it on line.
