what was the point of that? I was explaning why a new catagory does not work, why custom blocks can be used and generally ANSWERING IT! No need to repeat 

I explained how to do every block.

And you can add 1 new catagory NXIII did it in a tutorial.

Where is the tutorial?

Umm It shut me down so can you make your own?

Well, perfect timing. Im no expert at PHP, but there are some things you should know:

1. PHP mainly doesn't interact with players in the right way to make any RPG you see today, and if you tried, it would be very, very hard, if not impossible. For one thing, you would have to have a very good knowledge of PHP, HTML, and CSS to make any common RPG. You'd be better off using flash.

2. In plain English: PHP would probably be only useful for text-based games, unless you are willing to spend years on it.

3. As for the scripts, I will type them here (if it's possible to accomplish them; keep in mind that while i know PHP im not a pro yet. THIS ARTICLE MAY STILL BE INCOMPLETE!):

// First, you need to connect to the MySQL server. To do this type:

<?php

// set database server access variables:
$host = "localhost";
$user = "test";
$pass = "test";
$db = "testdb";

// open connection
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect!");

// select database
mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Unable to select database!");

// Put this in as an SQL script:

CREATE DATABASE testdb;

CREATE TABLE `symbols` (
    `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
    `column1` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
    `column2andsoon` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
    PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

INSERT INTO `symbols` VALUES (1, 'America', 'eagle');

// WHOA WHOA... stop here
// -------------------------------------Now for the scripts------------------------------------------------

// set game to %s =
$gamename = 'input here';

// get %v of player %s online =
// create query - Replace * with the desired item
$query = "SELECT * FROM column";

// execute query
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. ".mysql_error());

// AND IM SORRY I COULD ONLY HELP WITH SO LITTLE AND YET CAUSE A LOT OF
// ERRORS, BUT IF YOU REALLY TINK I SUCK THEN GO TO A REAL PHP SITE OR LEARN
// IT YOURSELF! See more info on PHP
// here: http://devzone.zend.com/article/627
// and here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php
// Sorry for all the double slashes, but i didn't want you to put this in by accident as
// it would be invalid code without them.

what the game itsself or the site? You can do the site just using basic HTML! As for the game, you probably cant code a game with PHP. You must be thinking of the wrong code.

Oh, and here? http://dsipaint.com/tmj/tmj_npc_test.php

Where do you store the forum data if you're not using SQL?

@1stCorinthians
The game is done in a scratch mod, I think, and the PHP just makes databases possible and acts as a kind of alternative mesh.

Now, I'm honestly not the BEST at PHP but... Ah whatever. Bye-bye.

I am no expert on php, but I don't think it's possible for Panther to send info to a page. Pages can only be triggered by a block reading from it.

the only way I can think of writing info to an online store, is for each page to be IP sensitive, and say, have individual pages for all the characters on a keyboard and some other pages for things like "submit" "newline" and then get Panther to visit the correct pages in the right order and get the php to write a line corresponding to your IP with the pages in order of visit until that IP visits the submit page, then it clears the line and saves the content to a list pages for things like status, message, colour etc. you would have command pages that are visited to give meaning to a string.

here's an example of a status being updated:

page visited:
clear            (clears previous string)
i

a
m

h
a
p
p
y
status

so visiting the pages in that order will clear the line representing your IP on the store page, then as you visit each character page, it will write that character to your line.
in this case "I am happy" is written to it. When you visit the status page, the php script can grab the string from your line in the store page and because you visited the "status" page, it can write that string to your line on a status page that other projects can read and display. other end commands could include "username", "speech", "send to" (if each user had a page to themselves the string could be sent to their "inbox")

this is all purely theoretical, I have no knowledge of php, but I do think that should work.... let me know what you think

Bingo 1.2.0 has URL and file blocks, I use the URL blocks to make an Internet Explorer. There are 2 new categorys in Bingo.

thank you!!!

Could you not do this:
On the A page

$letter = "A";
$IP = IP adress;
connect to database;
search table for IP;
$old = item (IP + 1) of database;
$new write = $old . $letter;
write $new to item (IP + 1) of database;

Yes, but sending a string one letter at a time is too slow to be practical.

What about it reades each line of each webpage? Possible, Bingo, a Scratch Hack has loads of new blocks and 2 new categorys. Including URL blocks. It is actullately possible to create a Internet browser with pages all over the world in Bingo!

in fact, my next OS will have an internet browser which reads the HTML from the page.

Cool! Does it parse the HTML as well? JavaScript and VBscript? (Probably pushing it  )

what i actually meant is that it will be able to read SOME of the html on the page and parse it. i will defintely include basc stuff like <title> and <a href> and <strong>. all of the non-parsed text will be displayed as plain text. this will get better over the years, of course.
