How would you make a game maker game php?

Answer 1

You just CAN'T do a game using only PHP because PHP is a server-side language. And the game would run on the client (i.e: the user's browser).

What you could do is to use the Game Maker's event-driven approach for making a Javascript-based game.

Protip: Use HTML5 technology.

Answer 2

The process if very complicated and time-consuming, particularly if you want the game to be "good". Here is a basic outline for a very basic RPG.

First, you need a plot. This is something that the player must accomplish. Next, you need a character for the player to interact with the game world. Then, the character must be given abilities and statistics that determine the success and effectiveness of his actions. Finally, you need obstacles for the player and his character to overcome in order to achieve the goal.

Once you have this basic plan laid out, you can use PHP to present a scenario and a list of choices to the player. When the player selects his choice and submits the form, you will read the $_POST array to figure out which choice was selected. You process that choice through an algorithm or function, and determine the result. Then you need to present the next set of choices (if there are any) to the player. If the game is over, you simply display a message explaining the end of the game, whether they've won or lost, and perhaps an option to play again.
