...because EVERYONE could do with a laugh now and again... and because it'll be fun to do.

Also, I'm sick of seeing games in Perl stop at the sophistication level of hangman.

For a first project, I was thinking about doing a Perl conversion of Triple Triad (see www.tripletriadonline.com ), the card sub-game from "Final Fantasy 8". It could be integrated into the UBB members to the extent that they can play/trade/swap/collect cards, the distribution of which can be overseen by administrators, moderators etc (new cards on certain days, as prize giveaways etc). All the card sets+graphics would be fully customiseable (card sets with members' photos on!).

I have a good idea how to do this, so anyone with a knowhow of object-oriented Perl who's interested please apply here or email me.

Prior knowledge of TripleTriad not necessary. Please only apply if you're confident you have the skills to do this, or to acquire them along the way.


Any suggestions for a different/next gaming project?

Sounds like a great idea Borg! I would like to see a Galaga style game, that would be pretty nice.

Galaga?

I was thinking something (not too large at first) alogn the lines of Planetarion or Terrania .

Borg, aren't you supposed to be locked in a cupboard somewhere finishing Who's Online?

Not talking about games, really some people just take liberties

Sounds super cool!!!!!! TT rocked.

There could be some sorta inventory screen in the profile window. And you could give away bonus stuff like ranks and whatnot for getting rare cards. This would be such a great hack for the zillions of FF sites out there you could make money selling it.
*sees ideas forming in borgs head*

Damn im thinkin about learning perl just to help ya!

You idiot, he's making that mod for free and has been working hard on it. Don't say **** like that to him. Let him post what he wants.

I am sure he was joking... sounds cool elliott

er, it was a joke Slim, relax man

Didn't the winking smiley kind of give that away :rolleyes:

It was a joke, now back on topic!!

I think this prog could leech alotta good code off of the avatar hack. Cause I asume you would place cards in a /tripletriad/ dir. And the av hack has all of that kinda coding done great!

I would really like to help with making the cards. I say they should be 70width by 100height, they could be a total of 10KB. And they would look nice with cool borders. And rare ones can have simple animations.

Is anyone else wanting this hack? Cause I sure do! I just wish I knew more perl...

*looks around*
Great idea borg.

what about the card game from Final Fantasy 9 i think it was better than the one from Final Fantasy 8

Naw, Triple Triad was much better..

I'll help with making cards..

I was thinking steal the first images from www.ffonline.com . They won't care if it means they get the finished product.

Borgs to-do list:

[*]Finish Who's Online? (sooon...)

[*]Finish Vinkulum (also sooon...)

[*]Do Proxyban list

[*]Do style template rotator

[*]TripleTriad!

I would like to see magic the gathering web game that would be cool.

hey borg,

I've been using OOP perl for quite a while (3 years, C and C++ for 7 years before that)and I'd love to give you a hand.

However I have only vaguely reviewed the UBB code.

If you are still looking for a hand let me know.
