The Demon's Lair

The Brief

“The Demon’s Lair” is a project based entirely around php and MySQL. The sole purpose is to create a fully working text based rpg with the absence of any graphic representation of the game itself. The actual HUD in which the player will play the game can obviously consist of graphic overlay, things such as Health or Stamina can be shown using graphic based coding.
