Ain't there any PHP text based game making tutorial for PHP7? All tutorials and even engines seems to be written in old PHPs. It will be wonderful if someone post a engine and tutorial for making text based PBBG with latest PHP7. Thanks
I think overall the web based game tutorials have reduced. I do not see as many as I use to. Now everyone just makes stupid comment videos or "watch me play this game". I hate those videos.
I would not say those older tutorials are really out dated though. The difference in PHP5 and 7 is not that big when it comes to coding. Its mainly performance so whatever you learn in 5 you can carry over to 7. The new Zend engine is under the hood. A few new operators like the spaceship operator and a few added things to classes.
I agree on what Halls said. The big, earth-shattering changes in PHP happened from PHP 4 to PHP 5. PHP5+ is absolutely not compatible with PHP4 or before. But from PHP5 and beyond, it was just feature additions. The core of the language is still the same.
