Well i guess its about time I got back to my tutorials. I will be working on some more tuts for our PHP game but also I have some Javascript and ajax tuts coming very soon.

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to leave them here.

id like to see the mmo part of it eventually ;] like how to make players battle each other, a game mailing system, and clans(guild, gang-whatever it you would call it) ect.

also i think it would be nice to figure out how you would add things like stats (which you can spend on training several things, i would like to see how you would get them from killing something, and have them obtainable through an item like gold) , such as a few common ones: strength(increases damage dealt), accurracy(chance to hit), intelligence (most games that i play, a certain amount of intelligence increases the amount of points trained into everything ie. instead of training +1 strength every time it trains +2 when you have an intelligence of 100, +3 when you have an intelligence of 200 and so on) and even a pistol or a weapon i would like to see something that adds to damage when equipted. basically more ways to customize every character so they aren't all the same.

dont know if it is ready for any of this or if its the style you were going for with the tutorial ^^ but those seem like the coolest things i would like to see

oh and how to make it turn based like you only have a bar of 20 stamina(energy, action points, ect) and you get 1 stamina every 10-15 minutes (basically how to make a cron job, i think thats what does it^^ not sure)

edit: and probably not lastly, this would fit in with the cron job and other things. most games i play have a cool like "explore" thing where you can look around and find cash or special items like food (which in the games i play add a solid number back to your stamina bar when it is low) and you can only explore or search until it resets at server time 12 am

This I would have to agree...I would like to learn how to do this as well...I'm wanting to know how to implement a pm system and a guild system. The explore part would be cool. (granted I'm doing this in flash...) it still would be neat to learn...

i will work on this next. thanks for the suggestions

Sure! I would also like to see how to implement when someone else logs in, you can see them in real time. How to set that up, or well call every current open session with said player.

i am just finishing off my mailing system.

ill chuck a vid up soon and the source coding.

I have got an item equip menu done (put an item on n stats get added. u knows the drill) i may do a vidio for that if you want.

I will be doing a guilding system (clan, mob w.e u wanna call it) at somepoint, but i dont think i will do that till nearer the end.

I would still like to see how to do the cron jobs (although my current host dont support them ¬¬ so have had to work around that with something else) but still could use it on some things.

you also mentioned a grid map thingy bob. that would still be cool to see

hmm i can throw a cron video up for ya tonight or in the morning.

would be appreciated mate

do you think its possable to use cron jobs from one host to controle actions on another when manipulating the DB? or is that just the supidist idea ever lol

no not really, it could work
