Modular Gaming - Open source web game framework - Kohana 3.3

[Curtis Delicata]

We are in the process of creating a open source persistent browser based web game (PBBG) framework which will have all the features to get you started and let you start developing your unique features without having to write all the basics. We have taken a modular approach, you can use only the modules you want. If you wanted just a forum you could enable only the core, user and forum modules.

We are building our framework using Kohana which is an open source, object oriented (H)MVC web framework built using PHP5 by a team of volunteers that aims to be swift, secure, and small. We are using Kohana 3.3 with many modules, including the following:

1.) ORM is a a powerful Object Relational Mapping (ORM) module that uses the active record pattern and database introspection to determine a model's column information.
2.) Mustache is a template specification we use for our templates, we use Kostache's implementation.

You can download our preview release at https://sourceforge.net/projects/modulargaming/files/ You can view a demo at http://demo.modulargaming.com If you have any questions, bugs or feature requests feel free to post them on the issue tracker at GitHub. https://www.github.com/modulargaming/modulargaming

Looks very cool, and I am glad to see PBBGs moving more towards MVC frameworks. Could you maybe give us some more info on the specific features this adds above what Kohana, its modules and the pre-existing 3rd party tools offer? I think I have an idea after digging through the Modular Gaming folder and looking at the classes, but would love for you to give a big picture

We are currently developing mini games. So far we have Rock Paper Scissors. Does anyone have any suggestions? Black jack?

[Jackolantern]

Black Jack is a good one. Also Connect Four, Dots and Boxes, Tic Tac Toe. These are multiplayer, right?

Does not work.

[Curtis Delicata]

Sorry, I just checked and someone decided to change the password!

Also, I have recently updated it to include default items and shops. Let me know what you think of the art!

The code on sourceforge has not been updated but it is up to date at http://www.github.com/modulargaming/modulargaming

Looks very interesting. I somehow didnt enjoy Kohana that much coz of their lack of documentation, but might give your framework a try.

[Curtis Delicata]

It is not the easiest framework to learn but it is worth it in the end. Let me know if you have any questions.

You can view documentation at http://demo.modulargaming.com/guide

The Modular Gaming documenation is a work in progress however it includes how to write a basic module. However if you click the Kohana link there is many documentation.
