I'd like to eventually start building a ww2 simulation game that is played through a browser. Right now I am just designing but as I come to the end of my design I am thinking about technologies I will use. I am almost certain I will use HTML5 and what has been refereed to as the "canvas" tag and I will be using javascript. I'd like to talk with someone over discord so If you are free to chat and help me by answering questions, my discord is: mikeright#4273 My game will be similar to the game "supremacy1914" in that You (the player) will see a map of europe divided up into sections called provinces. You can drag the map to navigate around europe and you will be able to click on your army groups to give orders. My game will be similar to Stick Man RPG. In that you will have a window on your screen with a top-down view of your surrounding area. You will see yourself as a circle (the top of your head) which you can move around with arrow keys. Walk to the trencht o start shooting. Walk to the injured soldiers to start giving medicine. etc. That covers the interactive parts of the game which I don't know how I will turn into something real. I still have weeks of desiging left to do but I can probably be designing with my spare time. The problem is I don't know what route I am suppose to godown. Do I just jump into phaser.io? I'm worried I will be going into the wrong thing and It would be good to speak with someone that knows and can guide me in the right direction. Thanks edit: i can't pay money. but if you could spare a small amount of time and the game is ever live you would be thanked in the credits of the game.

If I were to remake something similar to habbo hotel what web technologies/techniques would I need to use? More specifcally, there is a game called "aberoth" on google which is pretty much exactly what I want to make at this point. Go play it as it requires no registration but you can later on. I guess I will be using a game engine/framework? and maybe a networking framework? im still at the research stages...

is that free to use? I saw they were selling something in a a getting started video but it might just be for a plugin. if a website is heavy on animation... then it's unlikely that it's intended to be used on a mobile phone using 3G anyway... but I take those points on board

Thanks a lot all working now!

I have set up some "ajax" with a form. The form takes username/password/email address which inserts into the database from the external "Adduser.php" script. My question: How do I alert the user? I've tried this: $message = "wrong answer"; echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('$message');</script>"; But don't think I can alert the user from the external php file. Any ideas?

Just seen this site (linked below) and it has a cool banner with a pyramid of blocks which are animated to fall over when hit with a circle element. http://andreaslagerkvist.com/blog/2015/how-to-create-a-scrolling-twitter-feed-for-your-website/ It's really cool. Just sit watching it for 20/30 seconds or so and you'll see the animation. My question here is: Should I jump into HTML5 canvas and just use HTML5 canvas natively... or should I be using one of these html5 engines that are all over the place? (like crafty)

^^ I like to go with the "fake it till you make it" motto... I agree with above that re-making the design would be a good way to go. I tend to re-design at the end of projects anyway becasue my code is always messy/uncommented and you always find ways of cleaning up the code the 2nd time round.

No matter how good you think you are It's always worth it to ask for more advice/suggestions. Nothing bad can come from it but you could learn some cool new stuff... I notice that the header is a bit jumpy when you scroll down. This might be what the previous post was mentioning though.

We want to show the School Logo, Academy logo (school is part of an academy), School name and the MENU button which you can see in the screenshot. I'm finishing for the day now. Tomorrow Ill play around with it some more. I think transparceny with black could work really well instead of green.. Ideally I want to find a solution that still shows the GREEN colour but doesn't look overly-cluttered and pointless (Which is how i feel the green bar looks). The colour is important to think about in this design because we have 3 schools in the academy - Blue/yellow and green schools.. The end goal is to have each school using the same site template but each with a different sitemap and different colours which reflect the school colours. Thanks for your comment Fiscix!

I've been working on a site for the school I work at. Still in design stages and trying to get some sort of template created. https://i.imgsafe.org/09107c9.png I'm trying to implement a consistent colour scheme but the green header looks horrible and out of place. This is the colour I want to use: http://paletton.com/#uid=12P0u0kw0llnXt4tspJEzgYOibw Not sure where I should use the darker colours and where to use the lighter. Any ideas why this doesn't look quiet right? Could use some other eyes to give their opinions!

wow thanks Teo . thats really helpful I played with Flex earlier but couldn't get it to work properly. After work Ill try to implement into my actual site (hopefully flex is compatible with bootstrap and a few other javascript libraries im using) (edit; And gonna try to convert to Roberts Grid... seems interesting!) thanks

people on this thread are making me lol. Is it just me that gets a sense of anger towards OP? jealously for his muscles by any chance? OP... Try Google Material design to explore more design concepts: https://design.google.com/

http://pasteboard.co/OJ56Vjj.png <div id='container'> <div class='row'> <div class='col-md-4 col-height' style='background-color: red;'> test </div> <div class='col-md-4 col-height' style='background-color: green;'> test </div> <div class='col-md-4 col-height' style='background-color: blue; '> test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br />test<br /> </div> </div> </div> If you look at the screenshot, you see the text in the third column overflows. I want all three columns to be as high as the text. Anyone know how i can do this? cant figure this out

Are there any ways I can better manage aspect ratio of images when it comes to responsive design? Im using an image for the background but it looks strange if the browser is too wide or if it's too high because of it stretching.

Thank for the link mate!
