Need help starting on a browser-based game
Sabmin:
I'm interested as well, this is something I've wanted to do for a while but could never get any graphic designers to join me in it. :(
ErnieAlex:
Well, count me in! LOL...
I have learned a TON about graphics processing in PHP. It is very easy. Lots of tools and functions!
It isn't designed for animation, but, great for turn-based games, so, that info might help!

ShieldHeart:
Thanks Sabmin, that's exactly what I was looking for. I feel like I have what I need to figure this out now.
I'm glad you guys are showing interest in this project, the great thing is I already have the entire game programmed in VB, along with the graphics I will be using. Now it's just a matter of learning the PHP and MySQL and putting the game online. I'm glad there are forums like this with lots of people willing to offer help, so thank you to you both :)
As for your questions Ernie, yes, the 1000x1000 map will the only map used. Essentially players will start off by placing a castle on this map which will allow them to claim a 10x10 section of the map. They will then be able to place resource buildings in their land and generate resources. They can then use the resources to train troops. The fun will begin when players will be able to attack each other, form alliances, and try to conquer the entire map. Whichever alliance can conquer the map first wins the game.
So it's a pretty big project, but thankfully I'm finally done with my exams and have to entire summer to program this sucker haha.
ErnieAlex:
So, your project doesn't sound all that hard. At least the web and database file goes. Reading and writing data to a MySQL database is all easy these days that is why everyone is doing it. Displaying in a browser is very easy, too. You might use tables depending on what you are displaying. Or, DIV's which can be made dynamic using Javascript and JQuery. Do you have a link to a picture of your game?
Anyway, when you get things started we are here to help! Good luck...
Oh, PS: Be a "CARPENTER"!!! Measure twice, cut once! LOL... Plan ahead!
ShieldHeart:
yep got a picture, it will essentially look like this:
