Battle now is going to be our first attempt at a strategy style game. After today we have developed a simple tile system. Here is some of the code below.
For you who haven’t heard or forgotten, Battlenow is going to serve at the base level for a open source battle simulator. The plan is to have Generals with various rank, movement, intelligence, charm, war. There is also going to be hopefully some various weapon or military classes such as arterial (probably catapults), mounted units (probably rangers) and foot units (probably knights).
Turn based php game is what we will be shooting for, however it’s going to have the initiative system much like the older final fantasy tactics. You will have a queue and depending on your wait time will determine when your general will have his turn.
Forts, Castles, and different terrain all over different stats such as defense and movement. There is plans between levels to have a down/upgrade time for the next battle as well as in-game upgrades. Some code is below.

Currently our shared hosting provider is very stringent on CPU usage, no more than 1% sustained in 24 hour period.

For these lines are connected to several smaller computers that none of them are over 2ghz in processing power. However combined these well contribute a great mass amount of computing power. (click to continue)
Hello all,
Just doing some spring cleaning around the area. I temporarily disabled the chat box today because well it’s not w3c valid. I will need to work on it to get it back up and of course will release a w3c version when it’s available.
Currently I added a new menu above called the “+” menu. It has all those meta things you like to do like login and logout, register, find the rss feeds and similar. I also took some time to develop new login/register and email forms. Check back in a day or so and everything will be tidy.
