Online Game Development

About a month ago I started giving someone PHP/MySQL lessons. In the lessons I made up a little game to teach the guy how to do different things in PHP all the way up to making his own multiplayer online text-based game. So in the next few months I’m going to share insights on creating your own PHP/MySQL game by posting the code for this little game under the GNU public license. That way you’re free to edit/update and change it as you see fit. If you’d give me credit for it (or at least keep the link on it) I’d appreciate it.

I’ll post the tutorials here along with the final code for the game and an installation file (which I’ll even teach you how it works!) so you can follow along and see how I go about making an online game, the thought process behind it, and how to get one up and working yourself.
