hi all,
i am going to build a flash memory game which will involve php and mySQL database. well, the prob is i never do this kind of game before, so i need some guidance here in teaching me on how to build one or send me any references that are useful to me in learning... thanks!
ok basically this is a flash memory game where there are 20 cards (10 pairs) in a 4 x 5 layout. the cards will all be shown for maybe 5 secs then will flip to the back, users will then have to match the 10 pairs in a fastest time possible.
so the layout of the game will be such that the 20 cards will be on the right panel while on the left panel, there will be a time clock running plus a top 10 fastest players list below the timer.
i roughly know how to code up the matching of the 10 pairs via AS2 but my prob here is the timer plus the top 10 fastest players been shown.
note that the top 10 players names will only appear after you have finished matching all 10 pairs and there will be a form for you to fill in so that your name will appear in the top 10 if you are fast enough. the form will consist of these fields: name, nickname, email add, designation, company and contact. so for the first timers, they have to fill in all so that their nicks will appear at the top 10 there if they are the fastest.
so my prob here is the linking up between the form, the time they took to complete the game and appearing on the top 10 list.
furthermore, i also want to do an email verification for those repeated users if they are using the same email and thus the nicks they used previously will be shown instead and no need to fill in the rest of the fields, is this hard to do?
let me know if the questions i asked are not clear enough...
thanks guys, really a noob in game programming so need some help here...
