JULY 2010 Updates
- Finished Quick combat mode but couldn't allow it to be used because when you run low on Health you are transfered to Tactical combat mode to allow you to escape or finish them off, and this isn't finished.
Quick combat mode is part of the the game so you don't have to fight monsters that are too easy; i.e if you are 10th level fighter and you face 1 skeleton - it's not worth the time to go through Tactical combat mode in order to kill it. - Finished the character creation.
- Started on town, got it to a very basic stage. No buildings have been completed.
- Able to view character.
- Set up the item and Monster creation pages; this is for GM's (Game Masters) only but it allows me to create an item, or monster, in about 60 seconds.
I haven't created all the items and monsters in the game, only what I need (which is one skeleton).
JUNE 2010
- Started the game in PHP.
- Coded create characters.
PRE JUNE 2010
- Had the game up and running in ASP programming language (could create character, explore countryside, walk around town, combat with several random wilderness encounters).
- Game slowed right up with little players, this was because the server couldn't handle it (database couldn't handle so many concurrent users). I won't blame Microsoft for this as the documentation of Excel states that it can't handle the sort of traffic we were having.
- Tried to set up LINUX server and MYSQL database with ASP but it doesn't work like that.
Needed to learn PHP programming language in order to use Linux and Mysql.
