So i’m building a multiplayer game as a test to see if I can actually complete it. I started it about 6 months ago in Flash 8, but I’m converting it over to CS3 now. Anyway, my question is about making a character creation system in the game for the signup process. I am using php and mysql for a backend and I would like to save the character info inside a database for the user. I created a table with seperate cells for each selectable part of the character building system, but now I’m stuck.
There has been a bunch of ideas that I have tossed around for the flash portion of this project, but I keep running into snags (or design flaws). The newest idea I have is creating a movie clip container for the whole body, then adding seperate movie clips inside the container for each selection. I was going to add each selection as a multi-dimentional array and store the information for the whole body container (array results) into the database.
Is there an easier way to do this and still be able to save the info into a database, or am I atleast in the right direction? Like I said, i’m just experimenting here. My graphics at this point are different colored squares, so if it doesn’t work I won’t be heart broken.
Thank you
