Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle how energy restores for my game. At first I was just going to run a cron every 10 minutes adding 10 energy points to all users. However, that didn't seem right because certain users perform energy depleting actions at different times, and I w...

Howdy friends, was wondering what everyone would recommend as far as forum software for a game that can integrate well with my user database? Of course the more secure the better.

I want to have a place where my users can meet up and talk about the game.

Hey guys, I'm back with another question for you fine gentlemen. 1.) What in the blue hell is a PHP Worker? Is it just like a way to use SESSIONS and store persistent data for non-web apps?

Anyways, here's my problem. I am trying to display move names from a db. I have a $_GET['id'] stored in the variab...

Thanks a_bertrand, that was it! I was losing track of the function declaration in my spaghetti code. It was nested in a loop. Thanks guys!

Thanks Jack. However, I still can't seem to figure it out. I declare the function with function random_int ($min, $max) {return (mt_rand($min,$max));} and call it with $matchFinish = random_int(1,10); I have tried moving the declaration in the same loop as the call and outside the loop. It is only c...

Hello, I'm still working with getting all my randoms set up for a fighting game I'm working on. My issue is using the same random function twice, once per fighter, to determine a winner. Except, I keep getting the Fatal error: Cannot redeclare random_int() issue. My question is how do you go about g...

PHP beginner here and I am trying to use the code below to generate 5 random floats and then add them together. However, keep running in to a "Cannot Redeclare" error. Any help or suggestions? Thanks! function RandRoll($mod1, $mod2){ $modCalc = 1.00 + $mod1 + $mod2; echo "(" . $m...
