Dragon Knight

• Official Dev Site
• Live Demo
• Old repo
• See also: Dragon Scourge

Many years ago, @renderse7en made a cool little text-based RPG in PHP4. It was a fun side project, helped him learn to code, and a lot of people like it. Then, everything changed when he abandoned the source code to the wastes of the internet in 2007.

Fast forward 3 years and @splashsky finds that abandoned, decrepit code. He learns how to program in PHP from it. Another 10 years into the future, and now he's reviving that project so that other rookies can learn from the same fun project he did!

Server Requirements

• PHP 7.0+
• A MySQL server; we recommend MariaDB
• A web server; we use Nginx

You can host the game on your local computer if you'd like, but for maximum fun we recommend hosting your game on the web. Our official demo version runs on a $5 DigitalOcean server, and deployment is handled through Laravel Forge (but that isn't necessary).
