I've always been a fan of games, since my childhood and the appetite hasn't diminished as I got older. I've played numerous browser based games too and a I am fairly proficient at coding I decided to have a go at making my own browser game.
I met someone on a game forum who wanted to team up and so between us we are going to write a game - I'll be blogging about how things progress.
We've got a basic idea sorted out, the game will be a strategy/wargame where the player has to explore a random map gathering resources and using those to build up their city and produce units to conquer other players armies.
I've been working on the code that will display the map and my friend Pixelpix has worked on the random map generator that produces the resources on the map. We're going for a medieval feel to the game and so resources are going to include Wheat, Iron, Stone and Wood to begin with.
The game is going to be written using PHP with a MySQL database and we've not even got a name for it yet so suggestions are welcome, "Empire Builder" sounds a bit bland!
Hope to update this every week or so, thanks for reading.
