Travian is a browser-based game, programmed in PHP, and is played directly on the internet via a web browser. While Travian is a strategy game, with events occurring and resources accumulated in real time, … The player starts with a village but seeks to build an empire.
…. Though Travian is a war game, a specific objective is required to be accomplished in order to win a game server and this is to be the first alliance to build a Wonder of the World or in short World Wonder that has a level of 100.
I’ve been playing this game for about a week now, and I seem to like it. I haven’t played any other game like this one before.
Its pretty difficult to build an army especially if your neighbours have a very strong one. Most people seem to attack a lot. This gets them more resources (Lumber, Wood, Clay, Crop for the roman tribe that I’ve chosen). Players can form Alliances (equivalent of a clan) and fight or ally with other alliances.
One thing I like about such games is one doesn’t need to sit in front of your PC and play. the resources grow by themselves even when you’re online.
The game allows you to use custom graphic packs for the game, so the images for the game are all loaded from your PC directly. This reduces the loading time.
What better way to start being 18, than to start making a pokemon game. Yeah, It may seem very childish, but I believe the game mechanics are very complicated even for an adult. When I played those Gameboy versions as a kid (and now too), I wanted to try make such a game myself. To me, this is very very challenging and should probably take a lot of time to write, especially with my board exams coming up soon
So, I’m attempting to write a text based pokemon game in C++. I’ve have tried this and failed twice before. Good luck to me on my third attempt.
This way round I’ll try using SQLite instead of messy text files to store data, so I’ll first need to learn SQL…..
