Save game.....

jduderocks

Hi guys, this is my first post in these forums 🙂

I'm working on a Digimon Game (a tamagotchi that fights) my site is vpet.digimonhimitsu.com/control.htm, basically i need it to save the game for individual users, and i figured php would be the best server side tech for the job 🙂

The only problem is im not quite sure what i should right as the code, so that each user can log in, then access their individual save 🙂

plz help 🙂

I personally like this code for the login:

Once you have this implemented, you can easily grab the user info from the backend DB, and write the save info to the appropriate tables. But for the first step, I would start with the login.

Try looking through www.hotscripts.com

Save stuff via database, especially if you are doing this type of game. I have a LoTR type RPG where you have a character to do quests and gain levels and such. I save all the information in the database. Except for the login cookie.

you could use the [MAN]$_FILES[/MAN] function like this ,
the form


<html>
<form method="post" action="savegame.php">
<input type="file" name="savedgame" size=25 maxlength=50 >
<input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</html>

and the in savegame.php


$uploaddir = 'savedgames/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['savedgame']['name']);

echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['savedgame']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
   echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
   echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}

this will copy the selected file on a form and copy it to a specific folder 😛

then u can add it to a mysql database and done

hope it helps a bit

oh wow, thanks heaps guys, its working for me, working well 🙂

one smaller problem (a bit noobish, but im not used to php 🙂 ) this section of my code:

if (document.onaka==0) document.data.elements[3].value = '0'
else if (document.onaka==1) document.data.elements[3].value = '00'
else if (document.onaka==2) document.data.elements[3].value = '000'
else if (document.onaka==3) document.data.elements[3].value = '0000'
	  	       else document.data.elements[3].value = '0000'
if (document.gokigen==0) document.data.elements[4].value = 'X'
else if (document.gokigen==1) document.data.elements[4].value = 'XX'
else if (document.gokigen==2) document.data.elements[4].value = 'XXX'
else if (document.gokigen==3) document.data.elements[4].value= 'XXXX'
	  	       else document.data.elements[4].value = 'XXXX'

}

now....how can i make that load the status from the database?

😛

BTW Thanks for all your help, its really gr8 to have this board 🙂

no wonder its not working..... the code you have posted is javascript (client side) and wouldn't have a clue what a database is.

post some relevent code.
