I wanted to create an online multiplayer game. The biggest problem I foresee (in a nutshell) is the ability for multiple users to "fight" in the same battle room. I would pull the user/player information from my database and have them select attacks. Example: Player 1 clicks the button "Punch"... Player 2 clicks the button "Kick". Damage points are deducted. I wouldn't need the players to physcially fight, just actively collect points and deduct damages.
So the question is, I feel confident creating the user accounts and fighting moves, etc. But what is the best possible way to create the multiplayer battle situations? Should I use a different language alongside PHP, something client-side perhaps?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!
