Browser Game

When I was 14 I wrote a browser game similar to Freewars.de or OGame. It incooperated interaction with the world, an inventory system and RNG based fights with other players which took into consideration the worn equipment. I later employed my friends from school in the asset and item creation for the project and hostet it on a free host. To have my friends help me I implemented a light weight database management system and editors for the specific needs. Sadly our interest in this was not long lived and we never made anything concrete from it. Since I did not have good versioning controll at the time the code and database was lost to time but I found one of the earlier code versions (without database content however) on an old disc of mine. You can download the code below. Please keep in mind that this reflects a very early stage of the game. Also keep in mind that this was 15 years ago on PHP 3 and the use of OOP was not widespread, nor the use of frameworks known to me. My knowledge was aquired autodidacticaly from readng the PHP Tutorial on QuakeNet which was also a great introduction into basic SQL queries and authentication patterns for that time. My programming skills obvioulsy improved over the last 15 years so this is to be regarded as a nice gimmick more than an actual code reference.
