Oh my word, back from work to find you're all playing this absolute noob creation that I came up with in a few hours
Gym stats are incrementing but currently the battle system doesn't actually use the stats to determine fights. This will be my mini-project over the next 24-48 hours, as it's an awful lot more complicated to build the logic than I first thought... whoops!
I also thought I'd made it so that players automatically leave the hospital when reaching 75 health. However, I've just realised that this only occurs if the player in hospital visits the hospital.php page after reaching 75 health... so I'll add some conditions and checks to fix that at some point soon too, so it makes for a bit faster battling. In the meantime, if you want to create multiple accounts just to have more to beat up... I'm totally fine with that.
After I've completed these few things, I'll do a few smaller things like add tracking and a stats.php so you can see how many times you've attacked, how many times you've sent people to the hospital, and how many times you've been to the hospital. Then I'll be moving onto inventory.php which will be a big project as it'll introduce items with different effects into the game.
When I have a decent codebase with working features, I plan to add some basic styling and a really basic theme. I just haven't done it now as I'm live editing code and likely to constantly break things. The game will however remain entirely text-based and won't have any graphics except for perhaps a logo.
This is just a basic roadmap and subject to change. I really do have a passion to one day run my own text-based game and I'm literally eating up information to learn to code to do it myself exactly as I envision it. I am super appreciative to see a few of you guys taking the time to come and play my strange creation!
EDIT: 58 minutes on from posting this: I've bashed out a new feature in an hour. Search for gold allows a player to search one of six areas every minute. Each area has increasing rewards, but increased risks of failure, which loses health. Success means you find gold. Very, very simple, but still took an hour. Enjoy!
https://heroel.com/src/search.php - Also updated the home page to display level, gold, and link to search for gold.
Back tomorrow with the stuff I actually said above
PS: Just manually removed everyone from hospital. Fight away!
Someone sent me to the hospital.
Jokes on them. I been hitting the gym.
Come at me bro.
lol
13 strength already? No wonder you realised quickly that battle stats aren't being used right now haha! Somebody needs a nerf
