clash-n-slash is kinda cool, and its certainly purdy... but again, not what I'm looking for. =)
I quickly mocked up a website background using some ut textures, with the WoW website as a basis. While I already have rules for ship construction, combat resolution, and whatnot, I still need rules for the background of the game - what structures you can build on your planets, what modifiers they confer, and so on. Perhaps, for example, there will be an 'academy' structure which will create better captains which you can deploy on your ships; ships with captains will have better survivability and a positive modifier to their weapons fire.
And I also, obviously, need to learn php. Where can I get started with that? =)
[edit]
Dayjo, or anyone else, maybe you could tell me how php works: is it entirely server-side, or can it also be used client-side? Does each php script generate one full page, or can php scripts call each other, like in C or VB?
