php game creation tutorials

Four part basic PHP game tutorial

Part one talks about no php, just a discussion of game structure: resources, units, buildings, research, basics.

Part two begins with an overview page to display player data and then gets into purchasing units and such. It is basic SQL really. Even the dynamic pricing he gets in to is pretty straight forward. Still, the page is great for getting started.

Part three. This part gets into setting Cron jobs to update the game periodically. It also gets into ranking players.

Part four. An attack script.

Another, perhaps better, PHP game tutorial

Part 1 - basic database stuff and overview page.
Part 2 - automatic hourly money gain without cron jobs. useful!
Part 3 - creating a resource producing building. It's like this guy is building ogame. Cool.
Part 3 - Training / un-training units.
Part 4 - Buy weapons to improve troops.
Part 5 - Simple attack script.
Part 6 - Not a tutorial, but a game created by the author of these tutorials.
