Following Orders Game PHP Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Today we have another new ESL<\/a> game feeding off the prototyping ideas we presented, last with Vertical Riddle Game PHP Tutorial<\/a> that we want to call ‘Following Orders’. In this game you get from one English word or ‘condensed’ phrase to another via some orders and you have to get every step, in order, correct, following orders the web application gives you. Get it wrong, and you lose points, otherwise after all the steps you score all of 5 points … pinball, eat your heart out!<\/p>\n

You’ve got fairly straightforward game rules today, so what was the inspiration for this game? The same inspiration for this whole series of blog postings … Science Puzzles for Young Einsteins<\/a> by Helene Hovanec ISBN 0-8069-3542-1 ‘inspiration’ … thanks yet again. We also want to thank this excellent link<\/a> for their excellent ‘change a letter in a word’ functionality, in particular, helping us piece together some clues of our own.<\/p>\n

Finally that behoves us (having just come from the stable) to present today’s HTML and Javascript going into this ESL game design above you could call following_orders.htm<\/a> for your perusal, or you can try with this live run<\/a> link. These changes<\/a> got us from the “Vertical Riddle Game” latest version prototype to the “Following Orders Game” latest version with all the ‘bells and whistles’ (helped out by the “doddle to make” following_orders.php<\/a> large data set email helper based on the ‘Vertical Riddle Game’ PHP<\/a>.<\/p>\n
