Sure PHPMYADMIN is amazing but over time it can get frustrating to work with so how do we combat this???
simple we create a Administration panel? a what? it is basically a series of pages that are designed to help you manage your game much easier.
Here are a few Ideas I have tampered with.
- Add/Edit/Delete -- Monsters/Items/Shops/Spells/etc.
- A mail system where your players can contact you and it get recorded with in the admin panel... Avoids painful email Hickups
- Monitoring systems that you can get reports from certain aspects of your game from. such as currency tracking, player logs, game logs.
So for everyone that would like to help Halls please place your suggestions for the Admin panel of his gaming tutorial here. I am going to supply you all with a few pictures of my Project I have been working on for a few weeks.
