Embarking on a new mission

Post by hallsofvallhalla »

So i have seen a few games like tribal wars

Image


and I am thinking this is a great way to do a browser game and not really to hard. I could use javascript for the animation building and placement, php and mysql for the "kingdom sim control" and ajax for the instant updating for the database. I think I will see what i cant throw together to make this happen. I of course will make a sci fi version with different planets :)

well here is the proof of concept i made

you will have to excuse the ugly graphics and bad animations. This is only a test

just hit the build button. It simulates a rts style building.

I haven't tested this on all browsers so it should build a shop through animations. Make sure you use a browser that supports png transparencies.

this idea is really growing on me. I am going to pursue this a bit further. Give it a sci-fi look to it.

The ground looks pretty cool, I can't click build using Internet Explorer (don't change the subject to how 'shitty' it is. This is Halls' topic)

I say keep it up bud :)

I figured you'd like some comments :P

I have Firefox installed but I've never liked it, so I've been using IE since I first started using the internet. I believe it is version 8, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yep, Chrome doesn't work either. Opera is a bit weird, the animations show with transparency, but it starts to show the text Image in a little box over the image.

How in the hell do you prefer IE over Firefox. Up until version 7 you couldn't even call it a modern browser lol. I've been using Firefox since beta 1 lol. TO each his own I guess...
