Hi,

Please accept our apologizes for the delay in getting back to you.
I'm now reviewing your project submission.


In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.

In addition, please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files), then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the copyright and license notices. Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further information.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.


Please register your project once more with these changes.

Make sure to apply all changes requested, so you will only need to re-register once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards.

Registration Details


  • Name: RPG framework with PHP and AJAX
  • System Name:  bbphprpg
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License V2 or later





Description:

The goal is to develop a general purpose framework for creating Browser-Based role playing games. The project uses PHP as a server-side language with a database backend (currently supporting multiple DB engines using the database layer borrowed from phpBB, which we hope to replace with our own code.) The client side uses AJAX techniques to exchange data with the server and update the interface.

The general format for such games is an asynchronous turn-based mechanism where players are limited in their number of actions within a set time period ("Action Points"), but do not have to wait for other players to act. Maps are based on an orthographic tile structure.

The current version supports maps of arbitrary size and shape, NPC scripting with a basic API interface, basic player classes ("teams") and a variety of item types. The framework is being designed in a manner to allow additional items, NPCs and other functions to be added with little or no change to the core code.

The current (and greatly unfinished) source code can be obtained here:
http://www.sonicfangameshq.com/smidge/urbansonic.zip


Other Software Required:

The project requires PHP to be installed, a web server of any type (that supports PHP obviously), and a database engine (MySQL preferred)


Other Comments:

Please note that "UrbanSonic" was a working title, and something of an in-joke, when the project was started. This name may be used throughout the code but it not the 'real' project name. Originally it was intended to be a game based loosely on a Sonic the Hedgehog theme so there are still many references to this as well.

There are also some leftover bits of phpBB's template.php engine which is being phased out with the change to the AJAX driven interface.

Since there is no data included with the source, there is a "live" demo currently available at:
http://smidge204.homeftp.net:84/urbansonic/

(Be gentle on the server - it is not intended for public access!)
