K here is a idea I was goofing with that is somewhat retro. Its a semi graphical mud. It will be heavy gameplay with light graphics.

use the wasd keys to move

if you use IE make sure it supports alpha transparencies, 7.0 or better i think.

Right now I have a for loop placing the trees so they are random like a instanced area but I can easily set it up in a database where they grow and die over time .

Thats neat. I like it. I can even view it on IE at work!! WOOT!!!!!!!!! lol

hehe i was thinking of adding all sorts of things to it like rocks, animals and the combat would eitehr be real time, like a red square comes after you and hit a button to attack or having it go to another screen like Final Fantasy and doing a turn based attack...

Also thinking about making a Magic card game style combat, but without cards. You collect "Tokens" with different powers and use them for attack.

Interesting...

It almost looks like the old "simcity..."

ok i took out some of the tretro, updated the character, kinda has a nice feel to it

Nice...love the AV. Looks better! Just needs some rocks in there, some downed logs, etc...

oh good idea, will add.

anyone have any ideas opn how to do collision detection?

I have built an array using the top and left defines of each image then converted that array to javascript then try to do a detection if the player image collides but it is sloppy and doesnt really work....

cant find anywhere javascript has a image collision detection either....

This was all I could find:

oh this might help. i need to turn both the tree and the player into js objects and actually place the tree using javascript using passed variables from php. Hmm i will try this...Thanks!
