PHP Game Tutorial (2021) aka GrindFest

Okay, so this is basically the place I want to use to record the game I'm working on. I really like the idea of creating a device agnostic game and so hopefully I can achieve something like this. This is something that I'm working on, an hour here, hour there. Maybe even if I have only 30 minutes, I find myself doing a bit more work on this idea I've had for a while. So, if you are interested, then keep on reading and as a caveat to everything, I have no formal training in any type of coding. I did go to college, and I took Oracle with some earth sciences. I have done other projects in the past, most successful was when Ultima Online came out, people created various private servers using different engines. From TUS, Grayworld, Sphere, PoL, RunUO, etc. I coded in their various scripting languages and even contributed to the communities. There even was tools that people created. This all eventually fizzled out, as any great community of people do, it has it's era. Sure, there are remnants, pockets of people who continue to work with it. For me, life happened, have a family, and so time for me is precious. There are moments when I can work on a game, and it is in that calm I find that this is one of the best ways to do it. What I enjoyed from the UO era, was the fact that I could have a server running, and other people could build in the game world, create events, etc. Thus, this is where we are in time. 2018, and after doing a bit of checking around, there isn't really anything new, other than the typical engines that existed before everything went crazy on me. Thanks for taking the time to read, if you are still following this huge block of text, then I applaud you. Many get lost. This is my journey to teach myself PHP/mySQL/JavaScript/HTML. The end of this project will yield a complete game that people could take, import the database, and begin messing around with it. Hey Halls, I apologize if this steps on your toes, I hope it doesn't. I just want to use this place as a way to keep working on something. I will update this thread with progress and post up how it's going.
Constructive criticism is very welcome here as long as it's informative.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope someone out there will get use out of this.
(Dec 22/2020): With COVID-19 affecting the world, I've somehow have had the spark to update this project and get it rolling here. I placed the date of 2021 into it as it's merely a number and 2021 just had that ring to it. Updated the title, updated the link, and have posted up an update. Thanks again!
