Spring RTS Engine

Alright well thanks anyways for the help guys. I'll just go with whatever SWC Engine turns out to be. If it's some form of complex turn based/RTS then great, if it turns out turn based only, fine...if it ends up as nothing more than some tic-tac-toe game then so be it.

'appreciate the input.

*sigh*

can anyone spell abandon ship?

The part I love about this whole thing (not that it's anything new or confined to this particular language) is just being able to build and test on my laptop and release bits and pieces/components or entire systems online.

Well that's part of the reasoning behind having a ranking system in place. It's a starting place for me to begin putting together not just a ranking system, but an "end-game" type *environment* when I get to that point . For the time being, it serves the necessity of having a ranking syste...

So, basically, it's a game design that tries to keep people focused on your website as much as possible, and you're going to ad-serve them to generate revenue. That's a plan. The main thing I see here, though, is that I'm having real problems visualizing how it'll be fun. Episodic-play games where ...

By the way, I doubt seriously it matters whether or not it's a turn based or real time strategy. The terminology in and of itself really has nothing to do with putting together a browser based game written in PHP/MySQL. Leave off on the whole turn based vs. RTS thing and call it browser based. I can...

I'm in the middle of updating a few things if you don't mind. The ultimate goal is to give them something to do.

Vista's release (or news about its planning/requirements) has caused manufacturers to overhaul a lot of their platforms. I've never personally had a need for anything more than what I've got right now (Turion 64 ML-40 2.2Ghz 2GB HP laptop which I paid about $1200 for). However, there's Gateway deskt...

Alright well it is web based (PHP/MySQL) and only certain parts of it are turn based (e.g. resources, credentials, GC, etc). But certain functions/features like launching an attack will trigger an alert for that user - for example, the site will change CSS styles (red border, etc) on the target's si...

Oh, that was the other thing I forgot to mention. Would anyone happen to know what KoC is using for their game engine? I know Star Gate Wars is set up identically to that website, just a different theme. KoC is written in PHP and its filenames/page locations come across as being "homemade"...

I sort of stumbled across this website when I was looking around for an RTS Engine forum to ask some questions on. Basically we're looking at putting one together ourselves, but are a little lacking in the creative department. We've got both a credit system and GC system in place as well as a turn s...
