Darkkeep

Afternoon folks,

I was browsing sourceforge and came across a few browser based games which might be worth our while having a look at.

The two that seemed best from my quick glance where:

• NetRisk - Which is basically risk in a browser. Seems nicely done.
  There are a few screen shots of it here
• BlackNova Traders - This was been run at one time on boards.ie not sure if its still is. Basically vga planets/planetarion.

Hit reply and give me your thoughts on the matter.

Interesting Im gonna have a look at this in more detai. All it needs to run is PHP and SQL? Would mySQL work?

Both just need mysql and php. The risk one needs pear as well.

Theres a few others such as legend of the green dragon which I had running here for a while.

I mean of course BNT.

If you want a quick look try
orthanc.darkkeep.com/nova

there's a wee test up there. Thats a machine in my house so it'll not be running for long. Give u an idea of what it looks like.

There's a further list of browser games here

Hers another http://space.coldfirestudios.com/

Its a nice looking one alright. But I was thinking of something we could host ourselves. Give us something to do while we wait for our turns :)

Here's another one for the list:
http://www.aatraders.com/

Its basically a clone of BlackNova Traders.

I'll stick a post on the web games section of boards.ie and see what comes up.

I'd be game, played the blacknova one on boards, good fun blowing up people you know and stealing their planets.
