Browser Based Games Development & Resources

Time has come for me to give something back to you. It’s only fair – I learned all I know from Open Source communities, and after years, I think it OK for me to give something back.
I always thought that browser games need maps, especially if fantasy themed. Nowdays, you can find maps in most of games out there, but part of them are still static, and barely any game of RPG style has one.
I developed this for years, (actually, it sounds like years, since many times, project was forgotten, lying around on my PC ), and wrote several versions of it, until I got something I can use with ease.

Here it is:

2D Tile map [PHP/AJAX

I won’t give any special instructions at this time to use this script. Once you download it, you can immediately run it on your local machine.
PHP 4+ is needed only to run it.
It currently does not use any DB. Though, it can be fairly easy expanded to use DB.

Few words from author (me):
This software is linkware. Only reason I’m asking link back for is that I will appreciate any links. I also run a website, you know
If you downloaded this source from any other website than www.bbgdev.com, leave a comment here on this topic.
Permission:
You can use and modify this script in commercial and non commercial projects under only 1 term: backlink.
You CANNOT sell this script as your own.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I used Heroes of might and magic II graphics. Only because I like pixel art and old style graphics.
If you should use this map, I advise you to change graphics with your own, due to possible copyright issues.

P.S.

If you’d like to buy off complete rights for script, mail me @ romano.zagorscak [at] gmail.com

I just wanted to inform you about what I’m currently doing here. Found myself like hour or two, and did some work here

First; I’ve added browser games directory. If you’re a webmaster, you can now easily promote your game using bbgdev.com via directory page. I will approve each link as they come, since I’m eager to avoid potential spambot invasion.

You can visit it [here] or by using horizontal menu at the top.

Other than that, I started working on Browser games demos. So far 2 demos are avaliable, of eZRPG game and Dragon Knight engines. Well, I’m not yet ready to show URL’s since I wanted to create, let’s say, 5 game demos before I go out. But, it might be ready any time soon, so check back for some demos.

Oh, and also, I reconsidered to add ” and Resources” part to my site, since, well, slowly but steadily we have more and more resources here, right

Stay cool, guys.

Hi all,

I noticed that lot of games I have listed here have expired links, and also, you cannot see demos of those games on all links (like those that lead to SourceForge, etc).
Those browser games can be used, modified and extended, but many of you actually don’t know if they’re worth the time unless you can see demo, right? Right!

So, I thought a bit about putting up demos of each open source game we have here. Dominant Creature is on hold for some time, atlough, I do plan to enhance it’s features a bit. Chances are I’ll be able to produce another version in end of march, or even april. So before that, we might do something usefull here.

So, when and how is next big question.

First, you can vote on poll and tell me aswell, if you want to have those demos installed here. I will install browser games demos here no matter how poll goes, but if you say you want them also, it might speed up things.

When? I’ll start with one by one, and add each as I can, so, if we have 15+ browser games, it might take some time. Like, week or two.

How? Well, this is WP blog, has zillions of plugins, but none that I can use for browser game demos. So, I’ll write short post about each game i Install, and will make one page with list of demos and URL’s.

With all that, we should have clear navigation system and plenty of info.

C ya soon
