Roar,

 

Now that summer break is over, classes are starting again, and with that a new course: Webdevelopment.

 

We were to choose one of the following Projects for the next four weeks:

  • a Blog
  • a PHP Forum
  • a personal Website
  • a Browsergame

And because I AM FUCK, I've chosen the Browsergame! ... all ... alone ... :faec:

 

I'm always aiming for the challenge and a good mark so I decided to do this the more professional way; starting with a few concepts and a Mock-Up:

In order to get this, or at least some sort of prototype done, I will be using HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, jQuery and some other things and tools.

 

As the game title suggests, it's a generic browsergame about building your Ant Empire starting with an Anthill. From there, you can expand your caverns such as your storage, fungi farms, barracks,...(buildings), create workers, warriors and a special shroom-troop from larves(units), expand your knowledge about farming fungi, greenfly-milk harvesting and more(research).

 

Let me know what you think of this and if you are interested to work with me to create something real out of this. I am very open for suggestions, criticism and/or aid with the programming, design structure and artwork.

 

 

 

 

Dooork :3

 

 

PS: Please ignore the fact, that I didn't thought about the color sheme just yet and that the footer including the link for the privacy policy, terms and legal notice is missing.

Hmm i wonder, will you implement an illness/disease/dangerous plants for this game ? (you know... cordyceps fungi, ant illness [i don't know any] etc),or predator/prey (like well... anteater stuff like that) or weather (rain, snow and some Pro and cons for those )...  i'm just giving random since i know nothing about,HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, jQuery or any of those other tools you mentioned (lel i'm interested)

i need to keep this as simple as possible because i only have 4 weeks to complete this entire thing... it's rediculous i know but if i get the basic things going, expanding it with more and more features will be one of my top priorities ;) the problem is, the content has a VERY low weight compared to the programming part when it comes to rating and grading this project by my professor. fortunately i've managed to not write a single line of javascript, AND got my cookie system down. so once you are able to log in, a cookie will be set that will expire once you close the browser or after a few hours. the "Welcome Back, CyberMonkey" message is the result of those handy little bastards :D

 

ps: i got the layout done last friday so if anyone is interested in learning how to use HTML and CSS, i'll gladly help you out with whatever you want to create. i'm also getting a lot better in PHP and MySQL so i'll soon be able to launch my own database and get the registration system online :3

Okay! Got the database connection working today >:3 Users can now be added and edited properly. I'm working on an admin interface for me and notepad function for users right now. I'll see if i can get a login screen done or something too so I'll get a little closer to pre-alpha sexy time :D

 

Appendix: Model View Controller/Front Controller works now >:D

Little Update :>

JK4 might have to wait just a little longer :p But if you find people who are passionate, 2d/3d artists for both hard- and soft- surface modelling, c++/c#, JS, UnityScript Programmers or just super creative... let me know :faec:

 

 

edit: i think i'll move the 'login' and 'forgot password' to the left navigation menu, leave 'register now!' where it is and add like a slideshow with pics/story or super fancy fairies puking rainbows or something to it

 

 

edit2: like this

i'm still a starter and most of my knowledge is self-taught but i can really recommend getting into webdesign. it's really easy and I will gladly help you from making your first structured HTML page over using PHP and JavaScript to setting up your local MySQL server and maintaining it :>

 Oh my gosh D4Rk, that is looking great! You're so lucky to have such a broad range of skills  :) I mean, earlier this year you did C/C++, now you're doing HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, SQL......

 

It's not too good for real world stuff, but http://www.codecademy.com/ is a great introductory to what you can expect from all of those languages if you're interested in it.

 

Looking good

Thank you :3

 

I got the login working today so registration should be available soon too, though i can only host this locally (not accassible from the internet) and I will have to fix major mysql and php loopholes before getting this online and available to the world(for now you can delete an entire table just by entering a name within the log in screen that doesnt even exist in the database e.g. ';DELETE TABLE users; --' (including the ' ) :faec:
