I created a card/board game I've been playing with friends recently and a few guys said it would be cool to play as an online game
After looking at it I thought a lot of it could be done in php with database storage saving progress.
How ever the travel system in my board game would be a lot
Smoother and cleaner in a 2d JS game.
The Samlan tutorials were great 4yrs ago but he's removed them
And I was hoping there was something newer to bridge off.
As simple as it goes the game play doesn't need to include fighting or battling monsters all it needs is
To do is.
Load a tiled sprite sheet. Or something to this effect.
Have a 2d character/actor that can move with animations
Load NPCs with simple movement/collision no need for A* movement.
Collision, load new rooms/maps.
Simple quest like "if no itemX can't walk through door."
And Ajax or something to run, small scripts updating a database or check db.I don't tend to want to update the database with every character movement but say on map change or updating db that you have located itemX
So only small queries and not every second.
I've found. Some tutorials. Which I'll link it is there and open source demos which already do this?
The Samlan ones I posted a while ago did but I couldn't get the sprite to animate.
Here are the tutorials ive briefly read
