基于PHP文本的游戏时间段[关闭]

Question

Many web based text games have tasks which take real world time to complete. A basic example would be a game where you need to process some resource. You could "upgrade" your processing plant, but doing so would take, say 6 hours. If you chose to do this upgrade, you would be unable to do anything else in game until your 6 hours had elapsed, other than see a remaining time screen. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how this could be achieved in a game written in PHP?

Answer 1

It's pretty straightforward actually:

• each task is associated with a time it takes to finish it
• while the task is active, no other tasks may be started

Now when a user starts a new task you record the time the task was started and which task it is and add the time when it will be finished. You store that in the database. The next time the user logs into the game, you check whether there is any active tasks for that user and if so, display the remaining time.

So you could have a table Tasks with

• ID
• name
• description
• time_to_complete

and another table for the User and one for Active_Tasks with

• user_id
• task_id
• started_at
• ends_at

And in your PHP script you have corresponding code to query and update those tables.

Try to get something working from that description and when you hit any roadblocks, ask a new question about the specific parts.
