I have just signed up for this wonderful forum. I have been watching Halls vids due to my wanting to create an online RPG browser game of my very own. I am working with PHP to start. I know web page design but very little html or php. I am willing to learn and take advice. Thank you for supporting new coders in their quest to become game makers.

Day 2 and I am upset at myself and still do not get anything at all. I think I am just stuck on the sidelines forever looking at the varsity team.
Re: Hello I am new here
If your trying to understand it all at once, you have to break it down into smaller bites and understand them. Small bites - like if you've installed wamp server and written a 'hello world' php file and run it in a browser, that's learnt something important/a bite.
If you just want to learn the whole thing in one huge bite, you probably are stuck on the sidelines.

Re: Hello I am new here
Yeah sorry just overwhelming as I have all the ideas I want yet lack the knowledge to make them work. Mainly I am wanting a text browser game with some pics of creatures that can be killed, some PVP killing (like the creatures) also an ajax map to move from city to city. I look at the coding and go "WOW". I guess I need to go slower but I couldnt even get the tutorials to work right. I guess I need to learn what each command does and maybe then I can understand it.
Re: Hello I am new here
Once I tried to show someone how to increase and decrease a single number. They acted like it was nothing. But it's actually like a single note on a piano - other browser games you've seen are like a symphony of number manipulation. But they all consist of single notes. Until you see the numbers like neo, your stuck being a blue pill like the guy who thought it was nothing (if I may sound dramatic for a moment). I might write up a really simplistic tutorial and post it (if so I'll link to it here). Did you install wamp server and it worked, by the way?
