Unnamed PHP/JS RPG Engine - Developer Log #1

Here I am showcasing work on my first game engine/framework, or whatever you want to call it. This is very preliminary as I am also learning JavaScript/JQuery as I go.

In it's current form it's a roguelike/RPG grid-based engine with resource gathering and movement-based monster movement (turn taking).

What did you call the window your clicking on? a viewport? anyidea where I can learn to make one of those? Im gonna make an rpg (with preset maps) but i don't know how i would even start with the viewport...

I've made a game already (a basic combat game, xp, gold, stats) but it only had a stats menu and buttons for the combat... bit(dot)ly/RoShamBo

But yeah, any help, a link to a tutorial, would be nice, thanks if you respond

@JKTCGMV13 Hmm, there's many ways to go about it. In this very early video I was just using some Javascript and div's to render the grid. Eventually (look at WIP #3 video) I moved over to Javascript and HTML5 (using canvas to render everything). I'm not sure if there is any tutorials out there for this. I would try to Google "canvas rpg" or "html5 rpg" or something to see.

I googled that because I'm making something similar, just wanted to check how far ahead people are compared to me :) Keep it up man, very cool !

@AtakanNW Make sure you take a look at my newest video showcasing this (#3). It's also been awhile since I posted a WIP vid, so it's ALOT more complex now.
