New project, need some help

[Botkiller]

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a new project of mine. The idea is that it becomes a webgame where you have the oppertunity to become the best hacker. I want to include a console, but I don't know how I can do that. It has to be in some sort of text area that displays the commands that have been processed and the results (just like a real console) and an inpute line beneath it. That stuff is doable, however, how do I get it to echo the stuff the user puts in AND process the command?

Anyone have an idea on that?

Also I would like to call anyone who wants to help me with coding this project. Can't offer money in return, but I'll add you in the credits of course.

You can e-mail me if you want in, or reply to this topic. But the help with the console would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

where you have the oppertunity to become the best hacker

and what is your definition of a hacker?

[Botkiller]

Well to be exact, my personal definition of a hacker is the type of guy (or girl) that tests security systems and report the exploits, bugs and stuff to the owner of that system and programs stuff.

But there are some games like uplink or street hacker which are fun to play and that is what I want to make in a webgame.

I use the term hacker in this post because that is a name for it everyone recognises.

Most of the time in those games it are more crackers and scriptkiddy stuff 🙂

ok then.

well, ive never really thought about trying to create any sort of console emulation. im sure it could be done though, maybe with some ajax tickery.

Hmm, thanks for the tip, will try that AJAX stuff. Any other tips are also welcome 🙂

Maybe you want to help with the project? Or am I asking to much than 😛
